W
hat happens when a cliché is also the truth?
Those who have never deer hunted are often
told by those who do that it's unlike any other
outdoor passion – where long durations of
extreme silence and monotony are suddenly
filled with excitement so great that you can't stop your
entire body from shaking.
Below are a few examples of hunters who have
experienced these same feelings, those who still remember
everything about their first deer – where they hunted, who
they were with, and the entire story behind the shot.
So if you find yourself contemplating whether this year
is the year to start deer hunting, contemplate no further.
There's no better time to start. ■
