10 Thoughts All Hunters Have Throughout Deer Season
@m_wetterling

Every hunter/ huntress knows the secret to harvesting the big deer is to never wear "smelly" (in a good or bad way) clothes, make sure the wind is right, and pray hard... we also all know that there are several thoughts that have crossed all of our minds at least once...

1. *5:45 A.M.* "This sucks!!! I could be sleeping right now!"

*looks at the time* "oh wow.. why did I think was a good idea again!?!?!"

2. *hears noise* "SHHHH!!! I heard something to my left/right..." *3 minutes later* "oh, it was just the wind"

You know it happens at least once or twice per trip....

3. "D*** Armadillo and/or possum"

yeah, you know you heard the noise in your head when you watched this...

4. "Oh look!! I see a deer!!! ..... oh wait, that's just a limb"

Nope, no deer.. just the same limb blowing in the breeze.

5. *looking around* "Did I even put a bullet in the chamber when I sat down?"

Better hope you thought about this before a deer comes running through...

6. *only a trophy buck will do today* **doe blows and stomps**

"You did it to yourself.. you could have just gone on about your happy little day, but no you want to make sure the entire population of deer this side of the county know exactly where I'm located... snitches wind up with stitches, ya know!!!"

7. "Next time I am bringing the pellet gun to take care of this squirrel problem"


8. *sees little basket-racked buck* "Well, if I shoot him, I can always say that he looked a lot bigger from the stand.. Ya know, ground shrinkage is a real thing"

Actual footage of what you were seeing, at least in your mind before you got to him...

9. "I mean even if I did get 'skunked' today, it was a peaceful getaway and I had one hell of a view of the sunset tonight!"

Hunting can be such a nice get-away from the constant go go go the world seems to throw at us lately... a simple kind of life that never did any harm... at least for a little while...

10. *Coyotes start howling* "Yep, it's time for me to head on home... We'll try this again tomorrow"

You know what I am talking about... When you know they are way too close for comfort.... in the dark...

Well, happy hunting!! Hopefully, you won't have to experience the ground shrinkage or the off-sight scope anytime soon!!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
