When sitting in your favorite, ground blind, popup, treestand, etc what do you think about?
This next week, I am going to think about 2 men I have great admiration for.
My dad who died 26 years ago, and my Uncle Max, one of dads younger brothers who died 4 years ago. I'm hunting on uncle Max's 30 acre farm in Pittsburg.
My dad was not a hunter in fact really didn't like guns, he had enough of guns in WWII.
The first time dad wanted to go to the deer lease with me, uncle Max and I hunted near Avinger TX.
Dad and I met Uncle Max on the Friday before opening day in 1985. This was a year before we learned dad had lung cancer. We were walking around the outer edge of the lease, going up a hill almost to the top when across the rise of that hill a small doe come walking across. Max and I were carrying our rifles since there was large wild hogs in the area. Dad walks up behind us, and ask why don't you shoot. "That's the biggest **** deer I have ever seen"
He got to see some bigger deer over the next week and half.
The memories of yester year.
When your in the stands, be safe, have fun, think good thoughts and remember the ones you love.
God Bless
