David....I'll share this with you.

When I got into deer hunting.....I wanted to do it for the fun of it. Will I have "fun" taking out a doe with a fawn in tow? Honestly....it's not even close to being "fun". Will I, as a man, feel remorse? Yes. I feel remorse every time I kill an animal. I hit a rabbit on the way to work this morning....and THAT bothered me (still does).

Have I bitten off more than I can chew with this herd reduction thing? I don't know. It won't let me hunt the way I want to. And the way i want to hunt won't let me sleep good.....knowing I could be doing better in the overall herd's eyes. If I'm naive.....then let me be. I don't know any better, right now.

You see.....I kinda look at this like the person that wants a nice, juicy steak.....but doesn't want to know how it got on their plate. I want to have and hunt a healthy deer herd. I need to understand how it can get that way......and do my part. No one's gonna serve that up to me.

Time will tell.
