Bawana.....I've hunted to kill this year....and I have a confession to make. This year (If I had to assess it, right now) hasn't TOUCHED last year in terms of "fun". It's been more like work. I've been two weeks without shooting at a deer.....and I've had more fun in these past 2 weeks than in the previous two months, combined. Friday and Saturday I saw a TON of deer. Although I would have taken a buck Friday and a big old doe the same day....it didn't pan out....and I left the woods absolutely thrilled.

Rob and I were talking the other day. If I can get my son and a few select guys to take the does out for me, next year.....I'd like to hunt for ONE doe and ONE buck....and pace my season on that. I have a personal commitment to a family to donate them some meat.....but I'm sure I can get some guys to help out with that, too.

I "think" I'd love to try that.....if I can get the mgmt. part done by others. I've seen some REALLY big does (relative to this area....but pushing the 140# range) the last two days, including one matriarch that I'd love to have taken. She was a big beautiful old girl...and woud be a trophy to anyone.

I'm rambling.....but I don't see me doing what I'm doing for many years. Plenty tried to tell me.....and they were right.
