The things you learn as an Outdoorsman

This morning I learned that sportsman and meth-heads end up holding the door for each other during those really odd hours of the morning at 7-11.

Behind this smile are several years of wandering in the woods while
waiting for the right shot. This is my buddy's first deer. Three of
us have been learning to hunt since we got out of high school. All
of us lost our dads in some way at an early age and weren't ever brought out in the field and shown what the heck to do. Instead we have been
stumbling through the whole ordeal and learning with a desire to experience it
correctly, not just take a life with bloodlust or even a hint of
machoism. This animal was harvested correctly and it's meat will be enjoyed gratefully.

There is a lot behind that smile.
