Here’s the rough draft I had a few revisions but this is the start!

Tag Soup
Ohio’s 4 day muzzleloader season is ending in about 4 hours and I still have a tag to fill. I already have a nice doe packed away in the freezer so I won’t go without and I know I have a few more weeks of bow left. The struggle to get up and freeze everyday is getting worse by the hour. The excitat the beginning of season has taken a sharp turn as deer aren’t as visible and bucks are hard to come by.
As I was sitting in my stand this morning reflecting on my season so far I realized I may not fill this tag but the stuff I gained from this tag was well worth it. I have learned it’s not all about filling at tag it more about enjoying the hunt. Enjoying the great outdoors that god has provided for us. Less time in front of of tv and instead watching the hawks sore or counting blue jays. If everyone could take a few days off and soak nature in at its fullest I believe the world would be a better place.
The first lesson I have learned is the valuable into to the world of the whitetail in my neck of the woods. I learned more about there late season patterns and preferred food sources. I scouted several acres hoping to bump one while I scouted. I found new rub lines and scrapes I never knew existed. I found a broken tine of an antler. And I found several new spots I thought would make great stand or blind locations.
Lastly I learned everything happens for a reason. What’s meant to be will happen if I’m to fill the tag I will of not I will enjoy my tag soup. I have seen deer every sit these last 4 days and have enjoyed every minute of it. So don’t get disappointed if you don’t fill a tag just enjoy life the way it was intended to be enjoyed. Relax in the woods and soak it all in. Lastly think of all the positives you can take away from the season.
