Hey I never said anyone was doing anything wrong. I just gave my opinion.

It's a totally somber time, for me......right up to recovery. Of the 2 I had that I didn't see go down......I was never truly at ease....until they were recovered.

I guess the second deer I took, this year, may have changed the way I look at deer hunting, forever. I saw that littledeer get spined......and cry out several times before I could get another arrow in it. I then heard sounds of......well....just death. The third deer was just about a replay of this scene.

I'm not trying to sway anyone into feeling the way I do. Obviously....Im in the minority. The animal's paying the ULTIMATE price ....and I don't take that lightly. No whooping it up, for me. I don't fault what anyone else does. I understand it's very personal. A fellow board member (who might not appreciate getting mentioned concerning this) told me something when I talked to him about this. He said he understood how special that moment was. He said when we lay our hands upon an animal......we need to understand how special that is. We're the first human to ever touch that creature. It's humbling. It really is.

Interesting views, guys........interesting.

Have a great weekend.
