I agree 100%. Like I tell my kids - there is nothing wrong with hunting, there is nothing wrong with not hunting. There is also nothing wrong with deciding not to kill something that you previously decided would be a taker.
I know exactly what you mean, well sort of, since we get 3 antlered and 3 antlerless tags in VA, I'm rarely out of buck tags, since I try to be picky. But where you only get one tag, to fill it early, is to be done hunting! And it may sound out of place, but of all the things that revolve around hunting, whether it be scouting, planning, shooting, killing, butchering, taking photos, showing off photos, bragging or whatever else - nothing is as fun, as the actual time hunting. Not sure why, but that's how I feel about it...
