February 1st: Wisdom of the Hunt

Quote: “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” – Native American Proverb

OR, as Doug Durren has stated, “It’s not ours, it’s just our turn.” 

Hunting is more than a tradition; it’s a responsibility. Every decision we make in the woods shapes the experience for those who come after us. The ethical hunter understands that conservation is not just about protecting wildlife but about ensuring future generations can walk the same trails and feel the same reverence for the land.

Tip: Approach every hunt with the mindset that you are borrowing the experience, not owning it. Leave the land better than you found it, and be mindful of your impact.

Takeaway: True wisdom in hunting comes not from what we take, but from what we pass down. Hunt with respect, so that others may do the same in years to come.
