When hunting I enjoy the show going on around me. The sounds of silence. The birds or woodpeckers or squirrels. I don't want to be distracted by a book or IPOD. Stay alert. I act like a sniper is hunting for me & looking to kill me. That sniper is the deer and he could be anywhere. Watching & waiting for you to betray your presence. You must see him first & take the first good shot you get (hopefully with a rest).
The prey is always being hunted and knows in order to survive must move slowly, be quiet and stay hidden. It is watching, smelling and listening like it's life depends on it, because it does.
