You are in the woods and suddenly you become quite aware there is a deer moving through the area and will be within range soon.
The moment of truth comes and you must make the decision to take this deer's life or not.
Have you made up your mind well before or do you make that all important decision as it presents itself?
Is the deer population (high or low) a factor in your decision?
I wouldn't evenbe in the bush that day hunting, if I wasn't willing to take a life.
And yeah I do have there is days , when I'm just too tired, or maybe its the weather, that factors into my decision,to even bother with the gutting skinning dragging hanging,etc. So I don't even bother going..
As far as deer pop goes, that decision is made in the off season when I'm SCOUTING....
By the time I'm in the bush hunting, I already know I'm in an area with a very high buck to doe ratio...
The only decion that factors into me not making a shot at all,is safety, the animal sex,and size of antlers..
