Patience is Key

Whitetail deer hunting, nothing gets better,
The leaves falling, the wind blowing in your face,
The cold breeze you feel as you're walking to your stand, in the dark.
Patience is key, while waiting for the deer you desire to harvest.
Take in the nature that surrounds you,
The animals, such as the squirrels, you will always see or hear, thinking it's a deer.
The silence is peaceful.
Patience is key, while waiting for the deer you desire to harvest.
Quietly the buck walks out, and you get a sudden feeling,
The air rushes from your lungs, yet, at the same time, a sense of calm comes over you,
This is the moment that you’ve been waiting for all day.
Patience is key, as you line up the deer between the cross-hairs.
