Column: The best laid plans for a hunt seldom play out according to plan

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 22, 2020

Some athletes use a process called visualization, where they create a mental image of some action they’re about to undertake. They might visualize a downhill slalom run, a free throw, a breaking ball or a penalty kick, over and over so they will be more practiced and proficient when the moment of truth arrives. Hunters do it too, but it’s called daydreaming. Knowledge can be gained through books and magazine articles but there is still no substitute for time spent in the woods, where you never know what might happen. ~ Bob Humphrey
