Default RE: Another take on the "stages" of a hunter....

My point being we had not the opportunity to use deer as study objects, as to find out if we liked killing them with bats ,bows orbullets .
It was a time consuming and very rewarding way to hunt.
And many choices that were made were carefully thought out well in advance making any success a very rewarding accomplishment.
Jim....help me understand. How is a man to know if he likes killing deer....until he's killed one....or a few? You can carefully think that out in advance all you want....but sooner or later you have to pull the trigger. And now....once he has killed a few....how's he going to figure out if he likes doing it another way.....unless he tries it?

The fact that I have multiple tags and abundant targets has likely sped up the process of me wanting to try new things. It's like people expect me to apologize for that. I don't understand it.

Answer this for me....

If you started a poll, right now....and asked people why they bowhunt vs. gun hunt? Why they let 1.5 yr olds pass in favor of mature bucks? Why they hunt without a blind vs. with a blind? Why they won't shoot a jake?

What would be the main reason cited????
