RE: Letting bucks "Walk"....for those who continue to do so...
Well for me..
I get great satisfaction of having the self restraint not to shoot. It's not the same as actually shooting, it's a different feeling. It's the inner peace that comes from the Hunt being the focus of my time outdoors.
In my younger days the Kill was the important factor.
I could go on and on..but that paragraph sums it up, aboutas well as I can.
