Finding moments of stillness has become a rare treasure in our fast-paced world, where time seems to slip through our fingers, much like that shooter buck we had our crosshairs on. Ryan Holiday's principles from "Stillness is the Key" help shed some light on the significance of slowing down in life. What better place to embrace this than at deer camp? 

Hunting is the great connection. It has been since the beginning of time. We should use this connection for the betterment of the lifestyle and make it more attractive for those that want to join. 

All of the deer’s vitals sit inside the ribcage. The diaphragm creates a wall at the back of the last rib (just forward of the middle of the body) and everything you want to aim for sits between there and the front of the shoulder blade.

If you are interested in finding the biggest buck a piece of public land offers, you don't need to start by locating the food source. Deer and, most importantly, mature bucks spend the majority of their time wherever humans spend the minority of their time. 

Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsman, an Okayest Hunter or a newcomer to the world of hunting, documenting your harvest through photographs is a fantastic way to relive the excitement and share your achievements with friends and family. 

Sure, mobile hunting has led to the downfall of a lot of wary bucks who would have lived long lives in their little hidden pockets of timber if not for the advent of the tree saddle. There’s no denying that. Sometimes, the exciting potential for new opportunity can cause us to forget a few benefits of sitting still.

The longer you wait to get the ball rolling on your out-of-state hunting plans, the longer it will take to get in the woods. Start exploring your options, figuring your logistics, and don’t be afraid to dream a little.

Being an ambassador for hunting is more than buying your tags every year and changing your social media profile pictures to your latest kill. It’s about representing the lifestyle and aiding in building its defense. It’s about being generous and helping the next generation.
