How to Pass the Time While Waiting for Your Buck – Deer Hunting
Deer hunting might appear to drag on for an eternity when you’re waiting. After all, we don’t have access to handheld DVD players or even radios in the “real world,” so it’s not like you can amuse yourself with one. It’s just you and nature, with nothing in between. A deer hunter must find a method to make the entire deer hunting experience (not simply the tracking and shooting parts) interesting.
A hunter might begin to feel like a sentry outside of Buckingham Palace: unable to move, no matter what insect or animal comes his way.It is essential that a hunter remain awake at all times, especially while up in a tree stand. It’s critical not to fall asleep while hunting, whether it’s during the day or night.
Falling asleep in a tree stand might result in a big injury. You may also miss a nice deer if you fall asleep, right beneath your tree. Worse yet, you might start snoring and disturb any animal that you might be hinting.
So, how can you make your deer hunting more exciting?
Music: yes or no?
Some hunters have started bringing their own type of entertainment with them as a result of the popularity of mp3 players. Of course, if you truly want to get a deer, you must be on the lookout at all times. Hearing a deer before seeing it is typical.Also, unless you have exceptional headphones, the music will be heard by everyone surrounding you. As a side note, some people can’t help but tap their feet or sing along to music while out in the field. It’s OK in the city, but it’s not when deer hunting. As a result, say no to music.
I try to remain as conscious as possible. I enjoy being attentive to my surroundings at all times. I’m totally focused on locating a deer. I search the area frequently, and I utilize my peripheral vision at all times. I’m always listening for anything. Even if I do spot a deer on one of my afternoons, I frequently observe many different species of animals, and the encounter is beyond amazing.
It’s all about limiting your mental wanderings to brief periods of time. Then, in order to get another mental break, focus your attention on your surroundings.
Deer hunting may be monotonous for some people. However, there are those of us who enjoy the quiet and “dullness” of deer hunting. For those thrilling few seconds of seeing and shooting a deer, all the waiting is well worth it.
In addition, after a weekend of deer hunting, I have a renewed energy. My mind is freed from all concerns when I’m out in the woods on my own. I spend hours ruminating on and resolving most of my issues from the previous year. I grow in knowledge about myself. Nature is another topic that interests me greatly. There are few things that make life more pleasurable for me.
