Someday…..

How many times have you heard someone say, “Someday, I’d love to___________” and how many times have you witnessed that person actually fulfill this goal?  We are all guilty of it, myself included.  There are tons of things that I would love to do someday, but probably never will for one reason or another.  Why do these things cease to happen though?  I think it is just because we aren’t working towards these goals.  Saying something and doing something are two different things.  In order to do the things that we want to do “someday,” we must work at them.  I’d love to go on a Dall Sheep hunt someday, but I can’t expect someone to just ring my doorbell and hand me a fat check and a tag with a note that reads,”HAVE FUN!”  Although this would be nice, it isn’t likely something that is going to happen.

I remember when I first heard about people actually working out for hunting.  I thought it was absolutely ridiculous.  All I knew about hunting was that you sat in a tree or on the ground and waited for a deer to walk by.  What is physically taxing about that and why in the world would anyone workout in preparation for it?  My thoughts on the subject changed drastically after I really got into hunting out west though.  The animals out here live in some rugged country and if you aren’t physically prepared to even get to where they live, let alone haul one out of the mountains, you are really in for it my friend.  Don’t believe me?  Have your luck at a spot and stalk western mule deer or black bear hunt.  When you get back, you might think differently.
