I had a wonderful evening.
Outdoors.
In a prime hunting area.
In perfect hunting weather.
In good hunting conditions.
In a spot where game abounds.
And hunting wasn't a part of it.
I didn't sneak in trying not to disturb game.
I didn't spend time setting up to see, intercept, or ambush game.
I didn't try to stay hidden from game.
I didn't spend time being quiet or searching for game.
I didn't worry about whether I saw game, or if game saw me.
And I had a wonderful time.
I went out.
I built a fire.
I made a quick-adjust bush tripod.
I boiled a pot of water and made some tea.
I roasted some smoked sausage.
I cooked some gumbo.
I ate.
I drank.
I watched the sun set.
I watched the fire.
I thought.
I rested.
I listened to the night come.
And I enjoyed myself.
Not hunting.
So ... it can be done.
