Gotcha, and I know I'm one of the ones that has a different view than you guys on your self-imposed 20 yard limits.

One of the best things that being on this forum has taught me is to appreciate other people's styles and preferences in hunting. Being as opinionated as the next guy I used to have disagreements with people who did things in a way that I didn't feel was "right." Many other people were/are like this as well and I left the forum only coming back during hunting season to congratulate old buddies on their success. Now I have learned that there is no "right" or "wrong" even within the confines of the law, because each state has different laws. So, I try to be open to other people's styles and even if it isn't for me I listen to their perspective. This has made participation on the forum much more enjoyable and I've learned more because of it.

So, with that being said, here is what I try to limit myself to:

A buck better than my last. Shots 30 yards and in with special exceptions when optimum conditions present themselves.

I prefer treestands, but will construct a blind in the right situation or if suitablea tree is not available.

I use calls and scents sparingly.

I play the wind, and keep mindful of my scent along with employing scent control technology (sprays, cover scents, carbon suits)

I try to take does from the areas that need the numbers reduced.

I will not shoot more than I can eat unless I have someone to give the meat to or know that my butcher is accepting Hunters Helping the Hungry donations.

Those are my terms, but their always open to change.
