The Moment!
Posted on January 29, 2012 by T-Roy
Well for the most part, it is over. Sad but true, deer season has come to an end. Though saddened, it truly is a blessing in disguise because like the bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:1
[ A Time for Everything ] There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
We all say we wish deer season was year round, but honestly do we? Could you handle 12 months of sleepless nights, long days on stand, frustration with wrong wind directions and all the things that test your patience as a deer hunter.
For me, honestly the way we do what we do to try and get what is needed for the TV show 12 months would truly kill us. So i am thankful when the season comes to and end, it gives us time for rest, rejuvenation, restructuring and preparation for the season to come. Life too has it’s seasons. We have seasons of joy, seasons of prosperity and even seasons of despair. We have seasons of both good and bad. Just like in hunting, we have good seasons and tough seasons. But we always look forward to the next season and what it may bring our way. But for that up and coming season there is much preparation before it arrives, especially to the Archery hunter.
Why is it we bow hunters spend So much time trying to perfect the art of Archery? We will spend hours in the stifling heat of the summer just to get that perfect arrow flight and group through tuning our bow. Why is it we take so much time out of our lives to run trail cameras, prepare food plots, hang stands, scout new properties and work ourselves to the bone before the season comes? It’s for one thing. A Moment!
Yep a moment. We do all this to be prepared for the mere moment we squeeze the trigger on a release. It’s that moment that all the work, sweat, time, money and effort comes down too. The funny thing is no matter how much time, money, practice and effort we give to get us to this moment, there is no guarantee that we will make the shot and hit our mark……….
I have yet to find an activity are hobby that brings the rush that comes with this moment we all strive for. Think about it, what is there that will make you shake at the knees, breath so fast that it brings some to the point of hyperventilating, heart rate to go so high you can hear it beating in your ears, and blood pressure to rise high enough to put anyone in the ER for test. What else is there?
The only thing that truly comes to mind is the day we will all stand before God when He is looking for our names in the book of life. I can only imagine what that will be like. There are many that have their name in that book, the question we have to ask ourselves is, are we prepared for that Moment when we truly should hear, Welcome my Good and faithful servant. Can you imagine what you will feel like when you hear those words, no deer, turkey, elk are critter known to man will bring the rush that this MOMENT will bring.
Till next time, thank you all for watching and supporting HH TV through season 1 and look forward to your response to Seson 2 coming in July.
Be blessed,
