Deer Hunting (not just napping in the woods)
November 18, 2007
Yesterday was the opening day of deer hunting for those of us Hoosiers who do not know how to use a bow and arrow. My friends Phil and Ron were in our spots well before sunrise on what turned out to be beautiful fall day in Southern Indiana. None of us were successful in terms of venison on the table, but it felt great to be outdoors. I usually do not get more than one or two opportunities to hunt each year, but I want to change that in 2007.
Yes, Jane, I did get a brief nap in my blind, but I was so well camouflaged, I doubt any one saw me…

You know, even though I can’t quite get behind the the whole killing aspect of hunting, the being in the woods, watching, waiting- it all seems so peaceful. I’d imagine very good for the soul. I went horseback riding in the woods once in the same area where my cousins sometime hunt; I think that was the first time I really “got” why they enjoy it.
(For the record, I have nothing against hunters who use what they take down. I just don’t think I could do it myself. I’d probably cry. But then, I am a girl.)
Glad you had a good day in the woods!

Sadly, (or not, if your are a deer or squirrel or turkey) I have never killed anything while hunting. Just unlucky, or more like, unskilled– I am thankful for grocery stores. I fully intend to use every bit of any animal I take. I’ll post on my experience if I ever have the opportunity.
