It's More Than a Feeling

Did I not promise quality JJ's during Hunting Season?

"From Berkeley Springs:

Seems the Chestnut Hill Road caller equates liking country life with also liking the killing, maiming and torture of our wildlife. You people destroy all that is beautiful in our world. Remember one thing, the wildlife belongs to all of us and many of us hate your recreational feeling."

Every time I read this entry, I get that Boston song stuck in my head: only my version goes something like this:

I looked out this morning and the fog was gone

Put on some camo to start my day

I lost myself in a familiar woods

I load my gun and I hike away

It's more than a feeling

(More than a feeling)

When I see that the first deer of the day

(More than a feeling)

I begin aiming
(More than a feeling)

'Til I see that 12 point run away

So many whitetail have come and gone

Their antlers grow as the years go by

Yet I still recall as I wander on

As clear as the sites on my .45

It's more than a feeling

When I'm tired and getting cold

I hide in my treestand, forget the day

And dream of what could be on my wall

I closed my eyes and he gets away

He gets away

It's more than a feeling

(More than a feeling)

When I see that the first deer of the day

(More than a feeling)

I begin aiming
(More than a feeling)

'Til I see that 12 point run away

(More than a feeling)

When I see that the first deer of the day

(More than a feeling)

I begin aiming
(More than a feeling)

'Til I see that 12 point run away
