If I were driving to one of my spots to hunt and happened to come across a deer out feeding... I thought I might be able to stalk it... you are darn right I would try and have. How is this not hunting or unethical??

Do I drive around just looking for deer to stalk?? Nope... although it still would be hunting if I did and ethical as long as I followed all laws. It's a " hunting "oppertunity nothing more.
I probably put more time into scouting then 95% of the people on HNI. I know what a great feeling it is to scout, hunt and kill a specific buck. If youwant to passup an unplannedoppertunity... what ever floats your boat.I won't if I think I have a chance, my mood or the deer in question.
