for my daughters hunt. Shayla is excitedly nervous. I am excited to take my daughter on her first licensed hunt. Cow Elk in a high quality hard to draw unit too.
We leave hopefully by 1100 hrs her hunt is Sat - Wed.
It has been a huge process to get to this point especially with the recent theft. This has honestly been the most prep I've ever done for a hunt. Ever since I was a kid usually it is grab food, gear, water fuel and go. Not so much this time. LOL.
I am grateful my pain has been minimal the last couple of days and hope it remains that way.

Good luck to you and your daughter,Adam.
You'll have a great time bonding.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Good luck to you both.
Don't sweat the small stuff. If you can sleep without getting wet, and have something to eat, you can focus on safety and the hunt.
A favorite Spanish philosopher, Ortega y Gasset (1855-1955) wrote about hunting and had some great thoughts.
In our rather stupid time, hunting is belittled and misunderstood, many refusing to see it for the vital vacation from the human condition that it is, or to acknowledge that the hunter does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, he kills in order to have hunted.
The hunter who accepts the sporting code of ethics keeps his commandments in the greatest solitude, with no witness or audience other than the sharp peaks of the mountain, the roaming cloud, the stern oak, the trembling juniper, and the passing animal.
Good luck and be safe and enjoy the time with your child.
Pete

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
