I am a Hunting Addict through and through, I love everything about hunting. Here is a list of some of the things that get my blood boiling and make it so all I can think about is how far away the fall is.
- I love the bond that I have developed with fellow hunters throughout the years
- I love the smell of the forest in the fall
- I love sitting for hours waiting for an animal to cross my path
- I love watching squirrels and other rodents play around my set up
- I love the fact that I am completely hidden in the woods and I can see nature un-interrupted
- I love the feeling I get when I see an Elk, Buck or even a Doe. It doesn’t have to be hunting season and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up at the sight of these animals
- I love hearing my 2 year old little girl belt out a bugle imitating a Bull Elk
- I love sharing stories about past hunts and speculating on future hunts
- I love the smell of Cow in Heat
- I love putting my Camo on in anticipation of the hunt
- I love packing my bag the night before the hunt, the adrenaline of not knowing what I will experience the next day is amazing
- I love seeing hunters so excited about success
- I love seeing Hunters that had a great time and didn’t see a thing
- I love the challenge of providing food for my family
- I love the looks we get as we stumble into a restaurant after a long day of hunting
As I was sitting at the computer wondering what I could write about I found myself just listing off everything I love about Hunting. I could go on all day, there are so many little things that get me excited about hunting. What is it that gets you excited about hunting?
I love the crisp air in the early fall mornings. I love going home and discussing what I saw/didn’t see with my husband. I love the way my heart skips a beat when I see a deer – doe, buck, or whatever – and it doesn’t matter the season. And, of course, all that you mentioned above, and more.. Great Post!
Love the list. I love the nice afternoon nap under a pine tree. As dad always says “It doesn’t get any better than this”.
I think your list covered all my favorites as well – except I haven’t hunted Elk yet.
I love the cool crisp mornings; I love watching a sunrise from a treestand; I love just watching nature go about her business; and I love how small I feel surrounded by so much nature.
It truly is a one-of-a-kind experience.
Deer Passion, My heart always skips a beat as well. It is so hard to explain why I love hunting to people because I have no idea how to explain the feelings I get while out hunting. I also think sharing the stories of the day is always a highlight and makes it very memorable.
Arthur, let me know when you can make your way to Utah and we will take you Elk hunting; it is an amazing experience!
There is something about fall mornings that make me feel so alive!
Ahh.. all the things you mention and like you say, one could go on all day. A couple things that come to mind is the breathing in of the mountain air as I climb, and being able to share in all of the above with my wife and hunting partner creating memories that no one can take from us.
I would have to add one to the list, the rush I get after the shot. It is a high unlike anything else. I can’t even put words to describe it but, with this group I am sure that I don’t have to.
