In life we need to be focused on the moment at hand in order to be the best that we can be, but don’t hesitate to let the mind wander a bit occasionally, for as we relive the magic past hunting moments in time, they will bring us much positive energy and spirit as we count down the days to the opener.
I don’t really know what the great Jimi Hendrix meant with his killer song “Axis-Bold As Love,” but I sure know what I mean! If you’ve never hunted this amazing species of deer that runs wild and free all across Texas, think about it, because it is absolutely thrilling.
The world gets goofier and scarier every day in 2021, so thank God almighty we in the hunting world are smart enough to plunge spirit-first into the glorious healing powers of nature as the cleansing forces of springtime come on stronger every day.
The hunting of game is perfect. The killing of game is perfect. We must stand proud as hunters that we joyously participate in the miraculous circle of life, which happens to include, death.
Give me a moment here, would you please. I must gather my thoughts, calm my nerves and do everything in my substantial power to manage the tsunami of emotional wreckage currently coming undone. You see, it is the end of February 2021, and my beloved white-tailed deer season in Texas comes to a painful, heartbreaking, screeching halt on March 1st, and quite honestly, I just don’t know what to do with my bad-self.
Out here in the pure, natural, instinctual world of hands-on nature participation in the perfect hunting, fishing, trapping conservation lifestyle, where you can find it, such joy remains as beautiful as ever for those of us smart and determined enough to live it, demand it, promote it and celebrate it!
Each year hunters in Texas have been surprised and rewarded with encounters and much-appreciated exotic venison from everything from African kudu, waterbuck, impala, zebra, elk, red stags and assorted critters from around the world, that have escaped over time from exotic game ranches and provided one heck of a bonus from the wild.
I constantly celebrate my extreme good fortune to share deer hunting campfires with the best people. Life’s blessings come in many forms, but to connect so intimately, so often, every season with so many great families could very well be the greatest blessing of them all.
I’ve been hopelessly addicted to the mystical flight of the arrow from a very young age, and thank God, that archery/bowhunting love affair has only increased at a breakneck pace every year since.
I’ve lamented often how after moving to Texas 19 years ago, that I so miss my favorite snowy bowhunts in the winter wonderland. Alas! My white-on-white dream snowstorm hunt finally came, and I didn’t even have to fly back to the Great Midwest!
