I enter the hunting ground nervous, but excited. As I have
not yet learned the migrating patterns of the prey in this area, this day is
more about observation and education. My weapons of choice are an obviously
empty left ring finger, and a large Bible to rest my left hand on.
I enter
the room, choose a seat in the back, and scope out the landscape. The room is
quickly filling with people. Directly in front of me sits down a friend that I
didn't know would be there. I explain to her what I am doing, and it quickly
becomes clear to me that she knows the hunting ground and prey well. In normal
situations she would be called my “wing-man”. For this she will be referred to
as “the bait”. The bait has set herself the task of pointing out possible prey.
She will be a very valuable asset/weapon for this task.
It seems that there is much
potential for hunting, but I believe that I will know better when I have more
exposure to this hunting environment. On this Sunday I had to leave early for
work, so I didn't get full exposure to the environment. I am excited to see what the future will bring, but I am a very tentative
hunter. Hopefully with time I will have the courage to leave the blind and
wander among the prey.
