I love those quiet times of seeing animals, feeling the wind or just listening to nature. You don't get that with tech. It's so relaxing and makes you feel tiny in a good way. And honestly? It's totally addicting.
I totally agree! Like hearing a turkey, or elk, or even a moose responding to your call! Things like that stir the blood in a way only a true “Outdoors Person ” can appreciate.
I once found a place in the snow where a turkey had come down from roost. You could see where each feather dragged through the snow and where its feet landed. That's the stuff that keeps me going into the woods. The things that you only see if you are out there that pictures and words don't really explain. Like a bird landing on the end of your longrifle. Unless you had it happen, doesn't seem like much.
When I need some peace, I head straight for the woods or a quiet trail. That silence after leaving the road does something to you. No buzzes, no deadlines, just birds, wind and a calm that sneaks up on you and sticks around. It's not just relaxing either. It resets you better than anything else, it seems.
