My first hunt on my own place was so exciting. Up bout 3, got everything ready, tended my dogs and cats and climbed the steps to my blind.
This is an adventure a very long time in the making. After purchasing this place, a feeder was purchased, the area around it has been cut low then let go, food has been plenty for a year. My Arkansas Veterans Lifetime hunting and fishing license finally came in. I have been practicing walking quietly for months and that is a lot of fun with a stiff leg and a staff.
Settled in my little nest bout a half hour before legal. I sat in amazement, watching as the world woke up and the light penetrated the darkness. Seeing the stark features came forward, turning into discernable shapes and the colors started peeking through. You hear the sounds of animals coming into this new world and starting their day. Squirrels running around in their trees, birds looking for the early worm and rabbits slowly, half hopping and half crawling as the nibble along.
It bothers me not one iota, no deer showed, though I can see they were plainly here, by the way the ground is traveled and torn. Maybe it is best to sit and wait. There is a certain reward in just spending time.
