Snapshot Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Why do I hunt? Starting with the agony of the draw process, to the thrill of drawing a tag....The planning and anticipation of the upcoming hunt....Practicing with the rifle, and getting all the gear checked and loaded.....Leaving early in the morning to my hunting unit, and seeing the sunrise over the beautiful Arizona lnadscape......Setting up camp and getting things organized.....The smell of fresh brewed coffee and sizzling bacon and eggs for breakfast.... Walking through the forest on a crisp fall morning on my way to a glassing spot.....the excitement of glassing up the first animals of the hunt.....Exploring the ridges and canyon's, and wondering what is on the other side of the next mountain.....sitting on a ridge glassing as the setting sun displays a brilliant sunset.....working my way back to camp in anticipation of a few cold beers and a sizzling steak next to a warm campfire.... As I have gotten older, I realized that the success of a hunt is simply having a good time, and enjoying nature and the vast beauty of where I hunt. Harvesting an animal is just a bonus. Since my Dad passed on, I am not as passionate about hunting as I used to be. But I do love to hunt and enjoy the outdoors. Some of my fondest hunting memories, are on hunts with my Dad, when we did not even tag a deer. Always remember to see the Forest through the trees! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
