As each hunting season comes and goes, you will have many unanswered questions. First, did anyone shoot the big bucks that I was after last year? Second, did the deer survive through the harsh winter? Third, were the deer plagued by any diseases? Fourth, fifth, and sixth: did any of the mature bucks die from old age, car accidents, or from some other unknown cause?
You can drive yourself crazy worrying about all of these things that are simply out of your control. I have caught myself on more than one occasion, worrying myself over these very questions that I have no answer for at the moment. I eventually see how pointless it is and move on to things that I have a say in. Don't get me wrong, those are all very good questions that should be considered and analyzed at the appropriate time. But dwelling on them is an error in futility.
It's one thing to be prepared but it's another thing to be obsessed. The Lord told us not to worry (Matthew 6:25). A few verses later He also informs us that we must prioritize things and put God first (Matthew 6:33). "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Prepare the best that you can for the upcoming season but don't neglect your duties at work, at home, and at church. -Joe Bear
