Ya'll ever take the time to talk with God while out hunting?
Me and the Chicken was out this evening by some p'simmon trees this and had sat there for awhile without seeing anything, so I asked Jesus out loud to please let me take at least one deer. I told him I been good and really wanted to put more meat in the freezer and asked Him to give me a hand.
Chicken just grinned at me, prolly thinking I was a nut, but barely a minute later, three fat does stepped out not twenty yards away! I eased the gun up and took the lead doe. Chicken says, "He was listening!!!"
You bet He was! ;D

Toby, It would be very hard to get into the outdoors,especially alone and not give thoughts and thanks to Him for what He has given us.I have prayed to Him and ask Him for many things,but never even considered to ask him,to be my Guide while hunting. Hmm snake-eyes

Toby, all the time. And I do it when fishing too if even just to say thanks for the beauty that surrounds me.

I do this all the time. We have a small pond with some catfish in it. I fish there alone sometimes just for the solitude. It works.

Thanks for sharing this, Toby. I can certainly understand how Chicken was looking at you. I get the same look when I try to explain to the boys that I'm not going deaf, I'm praying, mediating. I pray without ceasing and only once in a while, when I need some extra help or to make sure God hears me when in interceding prayer, do I pray out loud. Of course I know He hears me all the time.

I do this all the time. We have a small pond with some catfish in it. I fish there alone sometimes just for the solitude. It works. I go ride the lawn mower around the perimneter three or four times. When I get to walk in the woods I sit down with a thermos of hot coffee and one of hot water and some instant soup or cup of noodles. Been thin on that lately. Yesterday I'd have given odds I wouldn't make it through the day. Thanks for the encourageent.
