Hunter instinct
How many have experienced a 6th senses or hunter instinct where you get super ready because you know something is about to happen. Bird flush, fish strike, big game arrival, set the hook or worse something bad is going to happen and it does?

I have just the opposite happen to me.  Just after flushing a grouse (and regrouping after having the crap scared out of me) I am in intense alert mode knowing at any second I will flush another bird.  The length of time this intense alert mode lasts varies but always ends just prior to the next flush after which the cycle repeats.

Ah deadeye I know that all too well, the ORHI old reverse hunter instinct.

As for myself it's called "wish a fish". You pull into a spot with a high level of anticipation. The adrenalin starts pumping. The intensity heightens. Your focus reaches the maximum level. Now you've shut out everything around you. Your now in a zone of your own and will not be denied. Then bango the fish hits your bait just as you planned it. After landing the fish followed by a quick release you look around as if you wanted to pound your chest, but there is no one around to share in your victory.

On this day you drive home with a smile on your face rehashing the strategy and pleasure you have given yourself. For on this day you consider yourself amongst the elite in your sport.
