"The Deer Hunters Prayer"

Oh, Great Spirit, let your winds be gentle and your skies be heavy.
Let there be a blanket of fresh snow to track the Antlered One....as did my forefathers.
And grant that I find him with antlers like tree branches - wide and mighty.
And grant that my hand be steady....my aim be true....and my drag, short.
But most of all, O Great Spirit, grant that my children and their children's children         have the wisdom to preserve your work in the forests,  fields and streams.......
So that they too can one day hunt the Antlered One.....in the footsteps of their forefathers.
