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.
If you want to understand it,and I mean really understand it,
I "double dog dare" you to huntyour state for one and only one buck.
Then if you so choose to shoot that "one" buck in another state such as here in PAyou can Challenge yourself once again.
As you have found killing does and fawns is like fishing for bluegills.
Aman that fishes for muskies does it cause he likes fishing not cause he likes fish.[:-]
