Too many modern people have way
too many distractions to pay attention
to a single thing.
A good many people that I know of
that go deer hunting all sit in their
blinds and read or play video games
or otherwise diddle with their phones,
or take naps or guzzle beer, etc.
then they wonder why they didn't
see any activity.
I know of some that "hike " , but it's
what used to be called jogging.
They completely miss any enjoyment
of the scenery, but instead concentrate
on milage covered in X amount of time.
It's a different world today
