Took two weeks of vacation to go hunt for a big buck. I'm 5 days in and have been going hard putting my woodsman skills to the test. I've been successful in seeing many deer, some of which were bucks (small ones). But I realized today that I've been holding myself back from embodying the entire experience. Rather than sitting on the edge of my seat anticipating the buck I'm after, I now see the enjoyment of the absence of deer. I now embrace everything I bare witness of. The wind, birds, squirrels, trees, insects, terrain features etc. I feel at peace rather than being tense. Please take note, and extrapolate this realization within your own experiences. Much love to you all
