RE: does killing a deer mean success?
I guess that I should have included in my post that for me meat is not an issue as I prefer to eat elk and moose and have no problem keeping the freezer full without taking a deer.If I didn't hunt other game,filling at least one deer tag would be more important to me.I should also mention that in the area that I hunt,simply killing a legal deer is relatively easy to do whereas some people live in areas where they may only get one or two chances each year to kill a legal deer.Again,this could be a major factor.
