Archery Bow Hunting – Learning The Hard Way May Be The Best Way
I was lucky enough to find an amazing article at bowhuntingmag.com, written by Eddie Claypool, on archery bow hunting, called The School Of Hard Knocks. We have all attended our own School Of Hard Knocks somewhere in our lives, but in this particular article, Eddie Claypool talks about the struggles that he has gone through to get where he is today as one of the most respected bow hunters to walk the woods!
Throughout the past 20 or so years, Eddie Claypool been able to kill more than more than 50 record breaking, world class animals using the skills that he has acquired while archery bow hunting. During his journey, he has gone through so many learning experiences, all which have made him a smarter, better prepared hunter!
He generously shares with us some of the lessons that he has learned, in hopes that you too may be better prepared to handle such situations, when you are confronted with them.
He talks about the evil inner voice that is inside of every human being. You know which one I’m talking about! The one that tells you to take an unnecessary risk to get something that you desire. Sometimes, that voice is not giving you the best advice.
When it comes to archery bow hunting, he says:
“Leave macho-man at camp; listen to that still-small voice inside your head, and heed it’s warnings, because if you don’t, you’re gonna have to be really thick-skinned!“
He learned this lesson one cold day, when he listened to his evil inner voice telling him that it was a good idea to walk across the ice covered wetlands, instead of listening to the small, much smarter voice in his head that told him that it would be a lot safer to just walk the half mile hike around the ice! I’m sure that you can predict how he learned this specific Hard Knocks lesson!
I wont ruin the rest of one of my favorite columnist’s stories, instead follow the link below to read the rest for yourself! You are sure take something of value out of his learning experiences that will better prepare you for the endeavors that you may face while on your next hunt, or hunts in the future!
