Sacred Hunter: October 2013
http://sacredhunterorg.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Many of the problems in my life have been the cause of a poor relationship to money. When I was young I did not learn the value of working hard for commensurate remuneration (I never had to “earn” anything.) All I had to do was beg or be stubborn and I would get what I wanted. I was 30 years old before the lesson hunted me down and presented itself in a way that I could no longer ignore. As they say, “when...My fath...

Sacred Hunter: September 2014

Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Connection Alone is Success. As I sit in my treestand, 20 feet above the ground in a mature maple, I am in awe of the beauty around me. The light filters through the gold and red canopy above me spilling onto the musky forest floor. It feels like I am in a cathedral. I am sitting here practicing being still and mindful only of my surroundings, but I am overcome with gratitude and wonder. I hypothesize that primitive...

Sacred Hunter: July 2013

Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Monday, July 29, 2013. Recently the royal family garnered an extraordinary amount of attention concerning Princess Kate’s “labour.” I have no issues with pomp and circumstance, but I was shocked at how the media sensationalized every moment of this woman’s pain. It caused me to wonder about what labor meant to everyone else. If anyone ever asks me “How is that you can kill something that you claim to love? 40 years later, I sit in my den surrou...

Sacred Hunter: August 2015
http://sacredhunterorg.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Yet, the changes in our backyards pale in comparison to the intensity of the woods and waters. Families of turkeys, with their poults running to keep up with the hens, dart across the dirt road to the fields to dine on the late afternoon hatch of insects and grubs. The poults are pint-sized and tawny brown, and are still learning the ropes from the hens. Against the far edge of a field, sitting like a Buddha on her hau...

Sacred Hunter: June 2013

Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Thursday, June 27, 2013. The Beginning of Traditions. About 9 years ago, a woman from the Shelburne Community School asked me if I would consider mentoring a young man who was challenged to adhere to some basic social tenets of the institution. I accepted the challenge and began meeting him once a week during school time. We got to know one another and realized that we shared a common passion, the outdoors. The Art of Patience. While mentoring ...

Sacred Hunter: February 2014
http://sacredhunterorg.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. A Mindful Winter Walk. F urther up the hill we meander through some pines, when a partridge explodes from under a pinecone laden tree. The bird takes to the air in a burst of snow, brown wings thundering together, to fly an escape route that not even a jet fighter could navigate. “Partridge! We surmise it’s a fisher cat judging by the claws and conical shaped footprint. Then the tracks disappear off the edge...We clim...

Sacred Hunter: November 2013
http://sacredhunterorg.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Thursday, November 14, 2013. They’re finally here! The Arctic blast has locked up most of the swamps and now the only food and open water is in the bay, where the wind blows wild celery into the shoreline, where I sit waiting amidst my bobbing decoys. Silhouetted by the backlight of the sky I can see large flocks of birds seeking shelter and food. They have come in during the night riding the wave of the cold front. As the minutes tick by towar...

Sacred Hunter: Sacred Rainbows - The Holy Grail of Spring
http://sacredhunterorg.blogspot.com/2015/04/sacred-rainbows-holy-grail-of-spring.html
Exploring spiritual connections through hunting and fishing. Friday, April 3, 2015. Sacred Rainbows - The Holy Grail of Spring. Wanna’ know what a real Vermonter does in April? Most of us, with the exception of my 9. Two pronounced characteristics of a real Vermonter are that they celebrate sugaring season and the holy grail of spring, Opening Day of Trout Season. Fly fishing is more Zen than any sport I know. Listening to the fly line swish by over your head and standing in the current makes one fee...
