When The Forest Whispers: Reflections From the Deer Stand

By D. W. Shultz

He would often flee to the silent, green depths of the forest seeking refuge from life's unrelenting complexities. His tree stand was his quiet zone offering the tranquility he often sought to bring clarity to life's unyielding obstacles. Challenging Mother Nature to provide food for his family was his utopia, escaping from the hustle and bustle of the crowded world he left behind. He enjoyed deer hunting because he found a connection with nature, self-sufficiency, and shared tradition. The experiences he relished were extraordinary levels of excitement and long stretches of quiet reflection, which fostered patience, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.

The author is a retired teacher who taught Industrial Arts/Technology Education for thirty years for the Owego Apalachin Central School District.

The author encourages readers to engage in self-reflection while in the wilderness, as this may lead to good health and greater clarity of one's wellbeing.
