RE: The deer that made me stick it out....
It's a good story and I have some similar to yours, almost exactly like yours.
But in thinking about it (as a few from this sight has educated me on), it may be a story you share around a campfire,
as the whole world has access to some of the sentences you wrote about and would like nothing better than to use it against us hunters.
No what I mean jelly-bean?
I do agree with your statement "I decided to become a better, more ethical and patient hunter" and that truely is the key and my "new" ways also.
It is a very good post, so don't take this as a personel attack, I hoped you understand...[&:]
