Hunter Success Comes In Many Forms

Posted on by

Recently, I had a buck in my sights standing offhand. Darn it, I could not steady my crosshairs. I was not confident of a kill shot, and did not try the shot. 

He saw me, and moments later… he melted away.  

” We will meet again” I thought.  “He is not going any where so maybe another time we will meet again… and I’ll be ready.”

I set up a stand in the same area the very next day. A double rainbow appeared where that buck stood just a day earlier. 

Success comes in many forms. Letting that buck go was a success in my ethics and… I was rewarded with this glorious double rainbow. Yes, can you see the second rainbow?

The rainbow had significance that this hunter can understand.

I enjoyed that view till the rainbow disappeared. 

Perhaps a rainbow will grace your stand too. Yes, I’d perhaps rather seeing the buck again, but I did enjoy the rainbow.

Good Hunting!
