Your Favorite Part...

I love just seeing things, we as hunters, probably only see in nature. Being part of it with out being noticed.

I once watched a baby bird fall out the nest about 20 yards from me & was flopping around. I thought, oh
man it didn't fly. Maybe it's hurt or just sick. I sat & wondered if the mom would try & help or what might
happen. As I watched the wet looking little thing try & start moving, & flapping its wings, a little fork horn
started making his way toward us. He was eating mushrooms & jumping & bucking around being playful
for no good reason beside he could. Goofy little fella. When he got close he saw the baby bird & started
sniffing it. I was thinking, man this is so cool to watch. He has no idea I'm sitting here watching. Finally after
a few minutes of him watching the bird, he put his head down & licked it & immediately lifted his head,
shaking it for a second. Then......he put his head back down again & ATE it! I could literally hear him crunching
on the thing. I was 110% like wth just happened! I had no idea they'd eat anything like that. Anyway, after he
finished he muddled around a few more minutes playing & randomly jumping around. Then he froze & put
his head up. When he did he let out the loudest fart. I was so loud it even scared him & he took off like a
lighting bolt. Ran a bit & would stop to look back like he was trying to figure out what just happened himself.

You can't make this stuff up. Stuff only we as hunters might randomly see or encounter. Stuff like that I enjoy
more then the kill.

Come on, admit it. It was really you that farted wasn't it? :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:
 
My favorite part...the pace and the peace.

I feel like I spend the bulk of my year running my tail off with little down time.
There is something about that first little bit after getting settled in and just taking in the peacefulness.
It's a huge relief. Like my body says "it's about time you slow your rear end down." It just feels right.

This is it for me also. When I am in a tree there is nothing to do, nothing to think about, and no decisions to be made. Life is slow, simple and peaceful.
 
I can't wait to hunt in the snow. In Michigan, it seems like it's getting later and later every year. The silence in the morning, the slightest little movement easily catches your eye, tracks everywhere, and it's just so freaking beautiful. I've shot my two biggest bucks in falling snow and several inches on the ground. Also, blood trailing in the snow is always a blast. There is nothing like it at all.

I agree. Here in Pennsylvania the snow/winter seems to come later and later. I love hunting rifle at deer camp with snow on the ground. What I do not like is after a snow how it hangs on the beach leaves. Makes it tough to see far. But it does look absolutely amazing!
 
I love the sunrise. Regardless of how many times I’ve seen it, it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful the outdoors can be when you stop moving and just observe God’s creation. After that everything is a bonus.

Another favorite part is that no matter how many times I see it and even though I'm out there expecting it.....when you look down and a deer has snuck up on you without a noise and is walking without knowing you are there. It always surprises me big time ("oh crap there's a deer 20 yards away walking right at me!"), even though I should expect it. I also always think to myself how they kind of look like big, long legged dogs.
