stranger in the woods
armymedic.2:
i went for a walk last night to stump shoot a bit and just be in the woods. unfortunately, farm work has kept me so busy this would be my first time out this summer. when i stepped in i was thinking about an auction i was just at where our cattle didn't fetch a great price. my mind was on overdrive. i walked around for 1/2 hour without seeing a single bird or squerril. my farm is loaded with them- i knew something was wrong. i started picking out rotting logs and letting arrows fly. by my third arrow my mind was clear, and i felt like i belonged in the woods again. i went around and checked a few stands, and some old generational trails. i even started to see critters again. it was great, and it was exactly what i needed after a tough day.
don;t forget to get back out there before season, or next thing you know you will find a deer staring at you from 80 yards. the woods are kind, and they will let you back in- but you have to ask.

I have said it before- will say it again- that I fully believe that a short walk in the woods is good for the soul.
cowboy:
I believe in what you say AM! I too need to get out before season - you loose so much from being in society day to day!!
mullet:
I'm fortunate that my job keeps me in the woods almost every day.But when I have to get away in "huntin' mode",my wife calls it sanity maintenance.
cowboy:
Sanity maintanance ;D ;D ;D. I'll have to remember that one!
