You still haven't answered my question? Is it fun to kill deer?
NO! I wouldn't call taking the life of any animal fun per say. I don't need to pull a trigger to have fun in my life. Sorry, I'm just not that shallow. I hunt deer primarily because I like venison, but I don't always have to kill one due to the overabundance of Grocery stores nowadays. I find deer hunting for me is more a spiritual connection with the outdoors. I don't have to kill little button bucks or fawns or even mature does to fullfil those connections. Would I like to take a few more big bucks in my lifetime? Sure! Who wouldn't. But I don't need to prove I'm a man by killing anything that moves....FOR FUN! As you so eloquently put it in one of your previous posts. There is nothing illegal about killing button bucks or fawns and you have every right to. But to brag about it is something else. It isn't hard at all to kill either of your choices of deer. Not much challenge there LP.
If it's primary for venison then why don't you call the PGC and ask them for some.There are many fresh road kills that they would give you if you wanted.Are you not killing big bucks to show your ego and to prove your a man just to kill it and hang on your wall?Whats so spiritual to kill a deer? Your all at peace sitting in the woods with nature.A deer walks out KABOOM.So much for keeping it spiritual.
