The Outdoors Inside out Tom Hubbard

This writing consists of the inside story on hunting and fishing as it really happens. As a writer of how to articles in outdoors magazines, I always felt they never told the whole story. Planning for success is important, and taking a trophy animal or a big fish is rewarding and fun. I can remember lying in the hospital with not much hope of ever being in the outdoors again, with cancer. As I thought of my outdoors experiences I found that the real pleasure in the outdoors were the memories of family and friends, and all the adventures along the way, the funny mistakes and just watching everyone have fun. Of course there were big bucks and large fish on these outings too. Many people make hunting and fishing a job, and miss the real reason for being out in nature, enjoyment! Just participating by laughing and living the moment no matter what, is the key. So sit back and relax, kick your shoes off, and travel memory lane with me. Prepare to at least smile or even laugh for then you will be as happy as me, hunting and fishing now cancer free.
