Left Behind

I left this camera in the woods from Dec till Saturday Aug 27th. So the next few pictures are from the camera. Although I moved it from a green field to the swamp, before checking it.

Treasures

Treasures

There is a country song on the radio by Trace Adkins called “ Just Fishin”. The song is about a father taking his daughter fishing. They are both fishing , but for different reasons. The daughter thinks it is all about catching fish “ Just Fishin”, but to the father it is about creating life long memories. Now, I know this is a hunting blog, but the same can be said about hunting, hiking, camping or whatever it is you do with your kids or even your grand kids. We find in Matthew 6:19-20 Where Jesus tells us “ not to story up our treasures here on this earth , where rust can destroy and thief’s can steal , but story up treasures in heaven” Does this mean that we are not to plan for our future here on earth, a course not. It means we need to keep our priority in order and as Christian look at life through eternal eyes. As a father of three girls I have great memories of us hunting, fishing, camping ,boating and look forward to do the same with my Grand kids when that time comes. God gave us our families and He created the Outdoors, so go make some good memories that will last for “eternity”.

3) Begin estimating distance ,then check to see how close you were with a range finder.

4) Place game cameras on a food source.

Name's

This is the time of the year when the cool mornings give up their hold to the warmth of the sun. A time when the dogwoods are in full bloom and the sound of a Gobbler can be heard in the distance at first light. Spring time is my favorite time of the year. The browns of winter turn to green and bring with them a since of newness. During this time of the year you can find me any given morning running and gunning for the chance at harvesting a"Long Beard", "Thunder Chicken", or a "Boss Gobbler." This "Old Beard" has earned the respect of many a hunter and is called by many different names. He has been known to humble, frustrate, discourage and just outsmart the best hunter. It has been said, if a turkey could smell you would never be able to kill him! I do believe that to be true.God also has many names that he goes by. In the Old Testament He was known as Jehovah Jirah (our Provider), El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty), and Yahweh(Lord Jehovah). In the New Testament He is known as Abba (Father), The Christ, Good Shepherd, High Priest, and in Revelations the King of the Ages. These are just a few. Although He has many names He is the God of both the Old Testament and the New Testament and will soon be the reigning King of the End Times. To me He is my Savior, Master and Lord of my life. I don't only know His name, but I know Him personally.That "Thunder Chicken" may outsmart me in the morning and that is ok, but there is one thing for sure, my Lord will never leave me nor forsake me.

What name do you know Him as?

Scripture of the Month:"

O Lord, our Lord how excellent is your name in all the Earth." Psalm 8:1

Thought of the Month:

Do you only know the names of God or do you know the God of those names?

Hunting Tip of the Month:

Try hunting turkey in the afternoon after every other hunter has gone homeor to work. I have found that they will respond very well to an afternoonof cold calling.
