What do you envision when you see this photo? I'll add my thoughts later.

I see a grizzled old timer who knows his way around in the outdoors as well as most people know their own homes. He is successful on occasion, but that is not what drives him. He is not concerned with image or what others think. His sole motivation comes from the feelings inside, and the comfort and security that familiarity provides.

Cool picture!

Looks like a day in the woods... the old way.

Someone who has 'been there, done that' and doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. He does things his way, and to hell with what others might think. I like him.

An ole curmudgeon, who longs for the good old days and the good old ways... One who measures his success no by the score or if it makes the record book, but if it brings joy to his heart...

One who enjoys the journey more than the destination...

I tend to think that the stubborness of the man, limits him in the field... But, then I think his stubborn cantankerous ways, remind him of myself...

I see a seasoned veteran who has his gear laid out for tomorrows hunt. It's been raining all day but his hip and knees tells him it will be barely misting in the morning. I see through his eyes the bed of moist oak leaves that he is stalking through and the deer will be nosing around in for any left over acorns. He sees this in his minds eye and the anticipation swells up in him. He sleeps well dispite the excitement. He's been down this trail before. Thermos in one hand, bow and arrow (he only needs one)in the other. He is standing on the bed of moist oak leaves well before day light. No flashlight for this guy. He has thought his way here. Hot coffee stinging his lips, this is the best time of day. Some unidentifiable, soft,subtle sounds only adds to the anticipation. It is the kind of morning where it goes from dark to grey and never gets any lighter and one could never tell a difference in the progress day light was making. It is barely light enough to make out ghost like shapes. Are they deer or are they brush? Brush does not move. The stalk is on. Every sense is in overdrive. Even the nerve cells on his skin is taking in data and processing it.

Somebody else finish this. I've got to go to a meeting.

I wanna know how you got your hands on my stuff. I particularly like what appears to be a double footed arrow.

Blackhawk · December 03, 2008, 02:42:00 PM

The picture reminds me of my last day on earth.

My beautiful wife of 50 plus years has honored my request to have my hunting jacket, a favorite bow, hunting arrow and glove accompany me on my final journey.

A jacket that doesn't have nearly enough blackberry thorns embedded in it for this time of year.
