another to hunt or not to thread

[sambo73]

I have a bible study sat mornings @ 730. The study don't really get started til bout 8ish. My property is bout 1mi from church. Should I go and sit til 8 or wait til after lunch and sit rest of the evening? Would goin in and leavin that early hurt anything?i come in from the backside of my stand. Any advice will be appreciated.

I usually won't sit if i know i don't have time to shoot/track/clean a deer....but you're so close to church in you're scenario, you could shoot, back out quietly, go to Bible study and then recover your deer

if you can reasonably make it in time, then hunt. then your prayer request at bible study is for a quick recovery for your deer.

You should skip Bible study and go hunting.

I can't, I'm teaching.

Then teach and forget hunting. If you are the teacher and it starts at 7:30, even if it doesn't "get going" until 8, you should be there at 7:30.

I would think it would give a bad impression if you show up late because you shot a deer and needed to trail it, etc.

Sustitute teacher???

ok. I'll be there by 745. The guy that unlocks the fellowship hall don't get there till then. They(all 3 of em) know I hunt so they don't hold it against me. My main concern is I don't mess anything up by leaving that early. Thanks guys.

If your the teacher...change the time of the class...or take them to the stand (blind) and have them film jk of course. I would work to alternate times if Sat is your only day to hunt but I must say I'm proud of you teaching the class!

Yo shouldn't hurt anything if you sneak out quietly.

sat is not the only day, I can hunt sat evenings and sunday morning before sunday school. This bible study has been goin on for over a yr now. We have done some structured lessons and some non structured ones. It usually me and 2-3 other guys. It's been great so far and look for it to continue to be great. I just get caught up in spending as much time hunting as I can. Last yr I didn't get to hunt much cause it was so wet and couldn't get across creek to hunt. This yr is different. So it's been challeging for me to focus on bible study and huntin both. I know you can only serve 1 master.

I'll on myself. I am part of a prayer group of 3 of my friends and myself. We meet Friday mornings at my office at 7am. Last Friday was the new moon and perfect weather. I emailed the guys and told them I was going hunting and they'd have to meet without me somewhere besides my office. I did pass on my prayer requests for them and told them I'd definitely be praying for them while the sun was coming up at my lease.

God taught me a lesson. I didn't see a single deer that morning.

He forgave me though, because I got a buck at dusk.

that's cool. Thanks for sharing. We (the same ones for bible study) meet wed after church and pray. It's awesome to pray with ur brothers!
