My husband told me that he was a hunter when I first met him. He enjoys hunting waterfowl, upland birds as well as other game. His dog was a Labrador retriever and he trained him a lot. As we started seeing more of each other I began to learn how dogs are trained and found that I possess a natural ability to work with animals. He told me that he was going to go deer hunting only a few months after we have been dating. I questioned this since deer season was still a few months away. He explained to me that he was doing archery hunting and that the season began two months earlier than the gun season. I had heard of archery hunting, but I never knew a person that was doing it. I was about to enter into a whole new world of hunting.
I did not see him get ready for hunting during the year we were dating. I just realised that We did not spend as much time together on the weekends since he was out hunting. Once we were married I discovered the preparation that goes into bow hunting. First the the clothes he wear is entirely camouflage. My husband insists that the clothing be cleaned without detergents and it had to hang outdoor for several days so there would be no household odors on it. The reason for this is that with archery hunting you need to get really close to the animal that you will shoot. Also, he had to practice shooting arrows into a large target that was shaped like a deer. This stage is to get a better accuracy at different distances. Also he placed a portable bench in a tree so that he may quietly sit and wish for a deer to walk close enough to be shot. He told me that there exists a method named still hunting in which the hunter is on the ground, but in the early season when there is still many leaves on the trees, the tree stand is a much preferable method of hunting.
