I got off work last night and in bed alittle after 12:00. The alarm went off bright and early at 5:20 and after a quick shower and a poptart I was off to the woods, hoping to chance another encounter with 'ol saber noggin this morning. After making it to my stand and getting tied into my tree, I sat quietly and watched the world around me wake up. The sunrise was heralded by a pair of owls who seemed to converse between tree lines like a pair of old men having coffee at Hardee's early in the morning. After the sun rose and cast a shimmer on everything with what was left of the nights rain, I hit that hour of every morning spent in the stand where the eyelids grow heavy. I was brought back to clarity with the sound of a hawk screeching as he circled the field I was hunting over. I was taking in all I had already seen an dreaming about getting a shot at ol saber noggin,,,,, or a doe. When I heard the sirens of a fire truck speed off in the distance, that was almost odd to me. The last property I hunted was in the middle of town and I heard cars all the time. This land however was far enough in the country I rarely hear a car. So as I pondered how strange it was to be hearing a truck, a pack of coyotes sounded up in the next field over. They howled and yipped as a pack, making a sound I've only heard twice before. I kind of figured that wasn't helping my odds at getting a deer, but it was cool all the same. After a couple more hours passed with no deer movement I made my way out so I can get some rest before work this afternoon. I managed to get some pictures on the way out and thought about how much more a hunt is than just the kill. And how it never ceases to amaze me how God in heaven made all the increadible creatures an scenery I was able to enjoy today.
I hope these work, it's my first try at pics.
