Complacency won’t get you far…
By Andy Anderson
Not too long ago I was reminded of a few things. I do not know everything, I make mistakes and I have gotten far too complacent as a hunter. I have been hunting for years; I take people hunting. I have never been in trouble and I always obey the law, or so I thought.
There are a lot of laws out there, laws for driving, laws for business and of course laws for hunting. Fact is, there are so many laws there’s just really is no way for anyone to know them all. Same as driving a vehicle; no one obeys every single traffic law there is, there is just no way. Because there is just no way you could obey every single traffic law, you get away with a lot things, and your driving starts to get real sloppy.
Then one day it happens: those red and blue lights flashing in the mirror, that sinking sensation in your stomach and tightness in your chest sets in. Your mind races back to when you were five and stole that first piece of gum from the store. Your nerves are shot and most of the time you have no clue why you have been pulled over.
You were speeding, you were following too close, fail to signal intent to change lanes, the list goes on and it’s always the little things that get you. Sometimes you’re lucky; you get a warning. Other times, you are given a citation. Little reminders of our behavior, something to help get us back in line and take our responsibilities a little more seriously.
