Sportsman's Corner Eight Year Old Gets First Three Point Buck Keeping track of "moon ADJUSTABLE HUNTING times" and weather patterns will help you stay ahead of changing whitetail patterns and activity and make you a better and more successful hunter. When the moon peaks overhead or underfoot during midday, typically during full and new moon phases, you have one or two options. First of all, you can just avoid this difficult time and wait for more favorable moon times, or you can hunt the middle of the day, when the deer are up and moving around, as hard as you would hunt early and late in the day. If weather conditions also dictate what times deer are up and moving around, just pack a lunch, hunker down and wait for the weather to break and the deer start moving again.

By Gary Miller Thursday, October 4-October 10, 2012 GET O &UTE CTION NATURE ONNEC ENJOYONNECTIONN Outdoor Truths For the most part, I've never been afraid of dogs. There's only been two times that I've gotten bit, both by Chi- huahuas. I think they both had some type of little-dog complex. But since deer hunters consistently go to and from their tree stand in the dark; if the neighbor or the local farmer has a dog, it will inevita- bly locate your movement and proceed to let the whole county know that you are there. On one particular farm that I hunt, I have to go by three dogs. I've dis- covered over the years that each one of these have their own sort of motivation for chasing my vehicle. One is the lead dog. He really doesn't care what the oth- ers do. He is going to chase, bark, and even try to bite the very tires on my truck. The second one simply chases me be- cause the lead dog is doing it. How- ever, he does have his own leadership tendency in that there are times that he will stay on the porch. And the third one is all about chasing the dogs. He could care less about me but had rather run circles around the other animals in sort of a fun-loving way. But all of the dogs are only willing to chase and bark either until I park or until I drive from their im- mediate area. And there is one other tendency that I have noticed; over the years as they have become older, I have become less of an attraction. They truly have learned that sometimes it's just better to stay on the porch even if they still can "run with the big dogs." Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ Since I'm not the dog whisper- er, I can't explain the nomenclature of dog activity, but I do know this – out of all of the years of barking, biting, and chasing after me, it has proved fruitless and futile. I still come and go, park, hunt, and even stay and visit with the owners. All of their efforts have really been in vain. But their activity is not too far off a picture of my own life. Unfortunately as I look back, I fi nd that I spent much of my time in pursuit of things that really didn't matter. I was strong and full of energy. My bark was loud and my bite was real even if it was a result of my own complex. I chased after things that I thought had meaning and substance only to realize that substan- tive things are really not things at all, they are people and relationships – family and friends – God. Today I am much old- er and have realized that many of those things that I once barked at and kept at a distance were God's way of introduc- ing me to new people and relationships, and to Himself. I missed out on these be- cause I was too busy protecting things that had very little value. I choose now to stay on the porch, not because I have stopped pursuing that which has value but because I discovered the most valu- able things will be found on the porch. www.outdoortruths.org Congratulations Wayne Gregory To Salesman Of The Month September 2012 CARTER CHEVROLET 200 W.
