Word out of Iran is moving faster than confirmation. Press play.
When a major storm rolls through, or the power goes out, most people reach for their phones to communicate. We call family and friends, send texts, or check social media to find out more about what’s happening. Most of the time, this works just fine. But if you’ve ever experienced a widespread emergency (such as a hurricane or earthquake), you may have found that the cell network can become overloaded and calls may not go through. Even if cell towers are still standing, having thousands of people trying to make calls all at once can make it difficult for them…

I never heard the term “harvest” used in reference to hunting until I was an adult. Growing up, the term we used for killing a deer was just that: “killing,” or maybe “shooting.” We kept our descriptions literal. The first time I heard someone say they had “harvested” a deer, my brain immediately conjured images of cutting corn, picking vine-ripened tomatoes, and snapping green beans while cicadas whirred overhead. I had grown up gardening, and the term “harvest” was something I always connected to vegetables and farming, not critters and hunting. Times have changed, however, and using the word “harvest”…
A mud-caked buck appears out of nowhere, his legs stained from the bog. The deer scans its surroundings. He’s an old deer that knows just how perilous life can be outside the security of his swamp. This kind of buck is hesitant to leave his bedding area during daylight. Fortunately, he won’t have to. You get aggressive and set up just right for an afternoon hunt — a stand about 80 yards from his bed. When he appears broadside at 30 yards, you draw back, settle in, and send a good arrow straight through the vitals. The buck kicks his…

Most training assumes you’re standing. This one doesn’t.
Most people think of awareness as a switch. On when something is wrong, off the rest of the time. It works more like a range with several settings, and you move through all of them every day without deciding to. The drive to work gets one setting. The walk through the parking lot gets another. The table at the restaurant, the checkout line, the couch at home, each one gets a different amount of your attention, and the amount you give it is rarely a choice you make on purpose. That is the problem. When you pay too little attention…
