I love the quote, have read it before. But I would never use an atv before a harvest and rarely use them after.

I like your story Bowriter.
I agree with Sun Tzu's philosophy as it applies to much more than warfare or hunting.

My philosophy in a Top 10 list...I don't always live up to it, but I aspire to it. (In no particular order)
1. Appreciate every minute you get to spend in the woods and don't forget to give God the glory for it all.
2. Be as prepared as you can be, but always expect the unexpected. Even if you play the wind perfectly, the deer will often come from exactly the "wrong place"...stupid deer 
3. Be safe and smart...don't blow off the little things, there are no little things when it comes to safety.
4. Be more still than you think possible, scan with your eyes instead of your head and shoulders, as often as you can.
5. When you have to move, do so extremely slowly.
6. Give yourself little mental pep talks when you start to lose confidence or patience. It really is true that the deer of your dreams could step out at any second, but sometimes you need to be reminded of it.
7. Wait for a good ethical shot...know your limits and stick to them.
8. Shoot what makes you happy. If you will be disappointed in it, don't shoot it. If it satisfies you, fire away. Don't judge yourself against other hunters if it is going to be a source of stress...that isn't what it's all about.
9. After hitting a deer, wait 15 minutes longer than you think is necessary to get down and look for sign, then wait another 15 minutes. DO NOT RUSH A TRACKING JOB.
10. Last but not least...Don't let hunting become a source of conflict in your marraige. If you sense the wife would prefer you to stay home, maybe you had better do it...sometimes at least.
