Not only do trail cam- eras need to be set up but, more impor- tantly, we need to be honing our shot- making skills. And since I'm not one who shoots all year long, I am even more concerned about beginning this process. In bow hunting, the margin of error is extremely narrow, so for the ben- efi t of everything involved, it is crucial that a well-placed shot be made. But there is also more that magnifi es this need. For me, I will make another trip to Pike County, Illinois and will also make my annual trip to Missouri. I do not take either of these trips for granted. They both are home to some bruiser bucks that most of us rarely get to see, much less have an opportunity to harvest. To be unprepared for these opportunities would really demean and trivialize these rare occasions. For me, these trips are the highlight of my hunting season and the last word that needs to categorize these few days is "regret." When I think about this whole scenario, it really does fi t into the way much of life works. If you notice, most of the time, the greater the opportunity and the greater the skill level; the longer the preparation. For instance, a heart surgeon must go to school longer than a mechanic. The importance of the heart surgeon getting her job right carries more weight than does the mechanic. If my mechanic makes a mistake, I am stranded. If the cardiolo- gist makes a mistake, I'm dead. And while both use their hands and some very intricate tools, one must prepare longer because of the limited opportunity and the price of failure. Again, I may bring my truck back to my mechanic for a second time in order to get it right but I may not have the opportunity for a second visit to my heart doctor. Now back to my deer hunt. I rarely have an opportunity to hunt big bucks in places like Pike County, Illinois. I may never get the opportunity to go back. So therefore, I need to make sure that, should I get the chance to shoot one of those Pope and Young bucks, I am confi dent in my skills to place a good and effective shot. And while this is my desire every year and while I practice for this same purpose every year; the cost of getting it wrong when so much is on the line, drives me to begin even sooner. If you are a bow hunter, you know what I am talking about. But here's the clincher. The great- est decision in anyone's life, and the one that carries the most weight, is what decision you will make about eternity. To wait any longer to make this decision is to not understand its gravity. And to remain unprepared for it is to demean and trivialize the excep- tional opportunity. By By Gary Miller Gary Miller Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ GARY MILLER gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org Last year, more than 1,200 images were entered. This year, your winning photo could be published on the cover of this magazine. Adult photo competition entrants must be subscribers to Wildlife in North Carolina. Photographers in the two youth categories (13–17 years old and 12 and under) may enter free of charge. The cost of the prizes and the prints sent to winners has necessitated that the magazine join the ranks of many other photo contests and charge an entry fee. The Wildlife in North Carolina Photo Competition aims to encourage people to participate in nature photography, thereby fostering greater understanding and appreciation of North Carolina's wildlife and wild places. Winning photographs will be published in the January–February 2015 issue of Wildlife in North Carolina. Thanks to our exhibition sponsor, JW Photo Labs of Raleigh, the winners will also be exhibited at the Museum of Natural Sciences and at other science museums and wildlife education centers across the state in 2015. The N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences, our founding partner, is a fantastic place to learn about North Carolina's wildlife and wild places through its exhibits and classes. North Carolina's outstanding state parks are ideal places to photograph wild animals and wild landscapes. Thanks to partner UNC-TV, you don't have to leave home to become educated about our state's wonderful natural resources—just turn on North Carolina Public Television's programming. Visit ncwildlife.org/contest, the museum, or any of the seven statewide locations of our cor porate sponsor, Great Outdoor Provision Co., for more information about the competition. Then get outside and show us your best nature photography.
