Its a magical time of the year for us hunters. Cool crisp mornings have helped loosen the hold of the leaves in the trees and gentle breezes drift them all over the rut happy stomping grounds of freaknasty bucks. There are so many emotions that come with this time of year, but on the fore front of my thinking is giving thanks to the so many things life has to offer and has given.
Life in general is precious and I'm helped reminded of this as I watch my kids play in the yard that hard work and the american dream that my wife Ashley and I are focused on living. Their innocent laughs and smiles make me look up ward and say Thanks!
Sitting down to a Sunday dinner after church with my wife and family and hearing stories from my Daddy and catching some Sunday football before I take my oldest boy Mason hunting on a whiteoak acorn ridge in search of a nice buck or even a Boone and Crockett sally. Again, I give thanks!
Standing in an airport watching soldiers deploy and come home, helps remind me of the sacrafices Americans have made to make our homeland the best turf on earth to live on. Again, Thanks!
Going on the road to a retail show or on a hunt and running into the many hunters that make up the brotherhood and sharing camp tales as we make plans to hopefully document another TV show to put on Outdoor Channel. I once again give thanks for us to be able to celebrate the hunting culture around the nation!
Life has so many ups and downs, but in the end it up to us to make the best of it for their is no promise that tomorrow will come.
As a kid, I was always told, please and Thank you were magic words and now that I'm older I believe this to be true.
So this blog is committed to saying thank you to everyone around me that has been there for me and supported me through lifes journey thus for and mostly to God for given me so many blessings!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Michael
