"Holy" Ground

Just had to use that word with the Pope all over the news! But I have to ask, be it where you grew up as a kid hunting or someplace else, what is your Holy Ground of hunting? Mine (no news here) is still in the western New England hills, though I’ve lived in Michigan 25 years now. I think it just gets imprinted on a person that those special places are your spiritual tribal home? What’s to say about this?

I was hoping the Pope would swing by on his way to Philly to go stumping here for a little bit. I’ll take all the help I can get, even if I’m not Catholic.

My woods are Eastern Pa, a hilly mix of hardwoods and conifers. Beautiful streams and a wide variety of birds to amuse me while I wait and meditate. Nice start of a thread. Thank you for asking. Dwc

Wherever I’m at and no one is shooting at me:D

Never been anywhere I don’t enjoy except for cities and I avoid them. Praise the wild.

Any place “NORMAL” for people and city folk avoid nothing worse then drawing back to take a nice shot on a grouse and some yuppie walks around the couner with his teacup dog. That happen to me once really tempting it was,

Two places in Alaska—an unnamed valley on the North Slope of the Brooks Range and the Moose John River on the west side of the Alaska Range. Both are pure magic, irrespective of what you shoot or don’t shoot. Also, our old cabin on the west side of Cook Inlet, although that involved duck hunting and retrievers more than big game. Don

Since I started hunting a few years back, I would say it is the property I hunt on. It is in the foot hills of the Laurel Mountains in pretty Western PA. The western part of the property is my favorite to sit in. Nice Maple, Oaks, and Hickories. It is just so peaceful in the early mornings and evening at that spot. When I close my eyes and think of the hunting season, that is my image…

Until the freaking neighbor comes trotting by on her horse!!

She knows now to stay the heck out of my area during Oct-Jan:evil:

Anyway, that is my “Holy Grounds” at this point in my life.8)
