Day 28: The Integrity of the Woods

Quote: “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.” – Aldo Leopold

As hunters, we are stewards of the land. Every decision we make—from where we step to how we hunt—affects the balance of the biotic community. This is a good time to reflect on the choices we make and how they preserve the integrity of the woods.

Tip: Approach the woods with humility and be grateful for our opportunities to find stillness in the deer woods. 

Takeaway: Integrity in hunting comes from understanding our role in the ecosystem and hunting community. Strive to leave the land and community better than you found it.
