For non-believers that is not a knock on you. I think all recognize it as a gift of one sort and cannot fail to appreciate the moment. For me , it is a personal thing best described as a sort of loving reassurance. A very good and strong core feeling that lets all the daily debris fall silently away. Good photos my friends.

I have the picture of grandson with his doe deer i am more proud of that picture than any animal a ever have killed , grandson`s grin/smile show`s why we hunt.

Just as I consider harvesting our garden crops, apples, berries and firewood a part of our lifestyle. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy hunting and I surely do but it's never been about "trophies" as much as harvesting meat for me.
