One of the most enjoyable experiences is the start of the sit. I plan whether to sit in food or timber based on the time of year and the weather I am presented with. Having made my decision, I walk a mapped-out access trail leading to my set while thinking about all the work and planning that went into this attempt of attaining success, while also wondering what will transpire over the next few hours. Im almost at my destination and take a moment before entering the woods. I take a deep breath, watching my exhale blow in the crisp wind, and gaze at the timber decorated with snow, while checking to see if i've made the right decision by choosing this set. I consider whether the wind is what I anticipated, if anything has changed since the last time I was there, and what my thermals will be doing based on the time and weather Im hunting in. Everything checks out, and now, with low anxiety except for anticipation of what's to come, i proceed into the timber to my set with excitement about how the strategy I implemented for the chess game we play with Mother Nature as hunters will turn out. 🦌❄️
