Before I took my first whitetail.....I was holding out for something "memorable". It was frustrating, a little, to have deer after deer go by that I didn't want to be my "first".

I've nowthought about how a lot of people hunt....and how few deer a lot of people actually see. Some shoot whatever comes by (legal)...and there's nothing wrong with that. I'd have to think the pressure, for them is "OFF". If they see a deer.....they're shooting. What an absolutely fun way to sit and wait.....knowing you're gonna likely shoot if you have ANY deer come into range.

My son has that carte blanche directive this year....and to an extent, I do, too (as long as it's female). THAT will make this year exciting, for me. "Brown-doe is Down-doe". Knowing I'm going to be shooting, more, will be exciting. Just think if you could (and needed to) shoot EVERY doe that walked by. That'll be my season, this year.

I walked into the woods every time, last year (less 1).....looking for a shooter buck. I won't do that once, this year. NO PRESSURE! I'm going to have fun....and.....

I need to buy more arrows.....
