You see why I want to document my season?
I'll say it again.....Hunting is VERY personal. Don't worry about what others think. If you feel it's in you and your herd's best interests to kill does.....then by all means....kill does. If it's not right for YOU.....then don't let anything here sway you.
Do it for the ONLY right reason. Because you want/need to.
Good luck!
Not exactly about what others think. Thats not the point of the post. Its the personal anxiety on whether the freezer gets full or not, cause you see all the kills on the internet. And it gets you pumped about something you generally don't get pumped about.
See, I had these two seasons in 2000-2001, where they were horrible. Nothing lined up. I even went to Newfoundland in 2001, and came back empty handed. I didn't see a buck for 2 whole years. I ended up pulling out a doe both years with muzzleloader. But every since those dry years, it sits in the back of my head.Kinda like a baseball's players thoughts on superstitions and streaks. You don't want to see them again. Ilove the meat, and if I couldn't eat it, I wouldn't hunt. I love big racks too. So it feels good to have one in the freezer.
