I have hunted for ever,well it seems as if i did ?
I pounded the woods since 1958. My legs and feet were my quad. Up one ridge down into the next hollow and up the other ridge ! None of that tree stand stuff for me. I was my own 180 pound Land Rover !
It was called still hunting,i guess,walk and wait,then move thru the woods. Man,how many deer i took and had to drag back the way i had come in? That was no problem ! I would get near my truck and see older guys about a 1/4 mile from my parking spot. "Were you get that one?" they would ask and i'd say "In so and so hollow!" They would say that they would never go in that far,but i did and loved it!
Well gang,about 20 years ago,the Land Rover started to slow down? Right now its about to less than a short crawl.
I am one of the fellows whom doesn't go very far into to the wilderness these days ! Still get to see some deer and harvest one every couple of years! It now is up to my sons and grandchildren to get them. I have actually little care to kill any,i just love seeing them that brings back memories that make a big smile come on my face. It is even bigger when one of the crew comes out of the woods,after taking a hike as i use to with a nice buck or a doe?
10 years ago,i developed a strategy,for myself? It has 3 points.
#3-Don't shoot anything down hill.
#2-Don't shoot anything unless one of the boys is near by.
And my main rule,
#1- When you go into the woods and you turn around and don't see your car,you went too far .
I just go for for fun now days anyhow!
Guys,believe me,99% us,this sneaks up on us?
