Thumbs up Heaven on Earth

Get up 4AM,check what the weather is.Foggy,wind out of the East.Great know just where I'm going haven't been in there for about a month.

Drive over park the Pickup,get my Crossbow out,dang it's heavy,wish I was young 145 pounds,strong as an Ox,lifting 100# Bags of Feed like I use to.Could hunt with my Recurve,Quiver Full of Arrows.Remembering how I was always Good with it and show People how to shoot Instinctive,not have to use them New Compounds with Wheels,Sights and all.But years have a way of changing things.Just yesterday Doctor gave me New Medication to relieve the Arthritis pain in my Fingers.

Walking to where I was wanting to set up like I had so many times before.Was going to use a Light but found I could walk with Full Moon light even though it was Cloudy and Foggy.Walking down thinking how time flies,my Dad passing 22 years ago,the same age you will be in a few days.Thinking of a Dear Friend that just passed,have to go to Good Bye Services for her in couple days,she was a Good Fishing,Card Playing Buddy the last 30 years,85 years old she did ok.

Get to where I wanted to set.River Crossing on the right,Prairie Grass on the Left,Bean Field straight ahead,setting in a Blow down looking at open woods.Perfect!

Setting there thinking of life in the dark,notice the thickness of the Fog settling in the Trees,then look at hundreds of Fireflies,shinning on the ground.Thought to myself my Heavenly Father showing me the Clouds and Stars,Heaven on Earth.

Thank you once again Father.

Hey BRP, congratulations on being out there enjoying what the Good Lord gave us. I think that what you described is what keeps me in the woods. There is nothing like it and I am happy to be blessed by being able to enjoy it. Hope you got what you were out there for, but I am glad to see that you got what you were needing. Happy Hunting!
