What is even more fulfilling than letting a small one walk,is to see that same deer the following year in the same spot, sporting a much nicer rack.
I thought they were so much wiser and harder to hunt if you let them walk? Guess not........if you keep seeing him year after year and the only thing that keeps him alive is your decision not to kill him............that isn't smart......it's lucky
Call it what you like Atlasman. I call it skill and experience. Something you obviuosly dont need because you shoot the first thing that comes your way.
Experience in what???............seeing the same deer year after year and being able to kill it numerous times..........then decide it has grown enough to kill it??........then pretend that this time he walked by you was just a lucky mistake made by an almost unhuntable crafty ghost of the woods...........unlike the the times he walked by you previously right??
Face it.......the only reason he is alive is because you let him be..........that is good fortune, not good instincts.
It's really no different then farming..............it's all a matter of when you pick the crop.
Someone else had a problem with their definition of hunting earlier..........how does "growing" deer fit into that equation and I wonder how the anti's would feel about that?
