While sitting up in my tripod during an evening hunt at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, I heard the sharp crack of a branch behind me.

Instantly, I knew what was happening. My heart raced as I caught a glimpse of movement, a beautiful mature doe was coming down the trail, calm and unaware, just ten yards away.

When she stepped into the opening, I let the broadhead fly. It was a perfect shot, clean, quick, and true. As I sat quietly giving her time, I looked out across the refuge and thanked God for the moment, for the hunt, the beauty, and the opportunity to witness that amazing sunset burn across the sky during my harvest.

Today, I did my best to capture the memory in acrylic paint. A mix of adrenaline, gratitude, and some golden light. I named this one: "Harvest Sunset"
