~Hunters, killers, or shooters?~
" You are right, a hunter is all three, but a hunter has one thing that killers and shooters don't.
That special thing you can't put into words
That feeling that you get when the first frost of fall is in the air
The smell of freshly fallen leaves stir your memory to hunts past
Breath fogging in the cold morning air, while acorns fall all around
The breath that catches in your throut when you first spot a deer
The first rays of the morning sun that warm your face
The feeling that you get when you know there's no other place you would rather be than where you're at
And then you realize you have a place in it all
Killers and shooters are people who only concentrate on one facet or the other......
but never get the big picture"
