Anticipation
Late Summer is always an odd time of the year for me. The calander is getting close enough to Fall that I can almost smell it, although it was still 95 degrees here, yesterday. This is the time of the year that I try and spend as much time as I can with my family, so I can store up the memories for the long period of time I spend away from them in the Fall and early Winter. It is also the time of year to make sure that all of my deer stands are in safe working shape.
I also go through all of my equipment and clothes and determin what was misplaced (never truely lost as next Summers invatory will prove) make sure all is in good working order, and determine what new products that I have seen that I want to add to my goodie bag. I also spend this time scouting my deer woods and just last Monday spent the day, with my family and close friends, prepairing a food plot for early Fall planting. All of these activities are in ANTICIPATION of hunting season.
This is an annual ritual that I have experenced for nearly the last forty years. I have now realized that every year I live in anticipation of the next hunting season everyday between the close of the last season until the start of the next. Don't you just love God's simple plan called the "circle of life"? Or as my friend Ted Nugent states it: "tooth, fang and claw, baby"!
The greatest renewable resource out their, the best tasting for sure. The fellowship that we experience with our family and friends when we are afield. The enjoyment of the great outdoors, and the absolute thrill you get when you actually find your self face to face with the beast! No wonder we are all anxiously ANTICIPATING the up comming hunting season. Godspeed! Keith

That is so true. ANTICIPATION is far more fun, I think, than the actual hunt. The idea of sharing the process to bring a hunt to a successful close just makes every aspect worthwhile
