When I started out hunting,I shot the first deer that wasn't a fawn that I saw.As time passed,and I killed more and more deer,I became more selective,first shooting only mature bucks and now holding out for only mature bucks with much larger than average antlers.I used to fill my tag every year but as a result of my becoming more selective,I probably only kill a buck every second or third year.When I first started hunting ,I felt as though I had to kill a deer to be successful,but now I consider every hunt a success just because it allows me to get some fresh air and exercise and to spend time with family and friends.My family and partners have also changed their priorities from simplyfilling tags to enjoying the experience.We often have a tag or two left over between usbut it never bothers us as we alwaysmanage to takesome deer,elk and moose ,and we always have an abundance of meat.I will add that we are less selective about the elk and moose until we have one or two on the ground,then we become much more selective with them as well.
