Hunting may very well be the most independent loaner activity on earth. Sure, we celebrate this exciting hands-on conservation lifestyle with family and friends at camp, around the campfire and around the buckpole as a very gregarious function, but the actual hunting itself is most often an “call by myself” activity.
I always have family and friends around during hunting season, and it is the best time of year to get together. But when I head to my treestand or deerblind, I do so by myself 99% of the time.
Guiding and hosting many hunters from around the country each fall and winter amplifies the tribal enthusiasm for this sport we so love. And very few things in life are as exciting and outright fun as gathering back in camp after the daily hunt to share stories and hopefully praise the beasts we may have been fortunate enough to bring to bag.
As primal and timeless as this hunting life is, we nonetheless embrace various advancing technologies that can enhance the enjoyment and effectiveness factors.
The one technology that I love the most is the intergalactic communication possibilities of the Internet and social media.
On my Facebook alone, many millions of people gather throughout each day to share and hear hunting stories, share photos of game taken and exalt the unique stimuli that are available only in the great outdoors, as actual participants of God’s miraculous renewable creation.
We are all fascinated to hear tales of the hunt and examine photos of majestic beasts, and of course, the more the merrier.
Lucky me that I am bombarded every day of the hunting season with photos of smiling hunters with their game, and I so appreciate the fact that so many people want to share their excitement with their old Uncle Ted.
Probably due to my indefatigable youthful enthusiasm, so many of the photos I get are of young children with their first kills, and the stories that accompany them are the best stories in the world.
Here are a bunch of the photos I receive on a daily basis, and I sincerely thank everyone for sharing their moving tales.
I don’t know why people cannot share their photos directly to my Facebook, but I get so many as it is that we are loaded up to the max, anyway.
Untold smiles, backstraps and memories light up the hunting families across America each season, and the more we share them the more enjoyment we gain.
Congratulations and a big Uncle Ted SALUTE to all of the happy hunters everywhere. No wonder ThanXgiving is celebrated during deerseason in America!
Give thanks like you mean it every day of the year.
