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!!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
