Every year:
-- I think of going somewhere new, but end up at \"my spot\"
-- I realize I need to shoot more
-- I pack, repack, and re-repack
-- I debate everything from what tent to use to what pants to wear
-- I\'m more prepared than ever and still not prepared for the \"audibles\" that will need to be called on Game Day
-- I worry about being separated from my work (how will they operate without me?)
-- I start having dreams about elk hunting from the end of July onward
-- I worry I haven\'t done enough to be successful, and I wonder if I\'m kidding myself about being any good at this
But ...
This year is coming together with confidence even though I\'m already having to change plans over and over. I\'m starting to not worry so much about the plan, and starting to think about the game. We don\'t know what the elk will do, but I do know:
-- I\'ll be there
-- I have the skills and ability to do this
-- I\'ll put away expectations and live in the hunt, a little more, year after year.
-- I\'m going to \"simplify, simplify\" this year, and concentrate on fundamentals, and trust that if something out of the ordinary is needed, it\'ll happen if I just stay in the game
