I love getting up in the morning while most of the outdoors is still sleeping. The hush of the pre-dawn world and the chill in the air is exhilarating.
I enjoy settling in at a prime spot and waiting and watching. If I don't bag anything, I've still enjoyed a beautiful bit of solitude.
Of course, the thrill of the hunt can't be overlooked. Bagging, cleaning and then enjoying the meat is the cherry on top.
