im much like you....i love filling tags...but i love being able to have tags available to still go hunting. we have a flintlock rifle season(also late archery season) that starts the day after Christmas and lasts 3 weeks...i have off from school that whole time period...we sometimes have snow and nice cooler weather...and i absoultely love carrying a flintlock rifle in the woods..no orange needed...hunting in snow is AWESOME...and i just love that season...i try to always make sure i have a doe tag for that season if nothing else. a few of us usually get together and do some small pushes and drives to eachother and just have fun...when im not with them i like to TRY still hunting and/or tracking in snow...just a great season, though our deer went through 6 weeks of bowhunting and 2 solid weeks of a warzone called rifle season, so stand hunting is rather unproductive, its still a great season...

i love to hunt...even if i filled my buck tag and a doe tag or 2 and said i had enough meat in the freezer and did not want to kill another deer, i will go and push to the buddies etc...we work as a team...even those that dont bowhunt will fill us that DO bowhunt in on where they see bucks, big bucks, lots of deer etc...they KNOW that if we fill out tag in bow season, we will be there in rifle and flintlock to push for them once the deer are pressured and need moved around. to me, being a driver and hearing a gun go off is music to my ears...you can say ive "killed" more deer than ive actually pulled the trigger(or release) on...its a team effort...the guy pulling the trigger is just the one in the right spot at the right time....though alot of thought and effort goes into knowing where to put standers...that used to be my role...i was like the "boss" of the standers and my knowledge of deer and funnels etc made me a VERY successful leader of standers...when a young buddy got his first deer off a drive i was part of, i felt GREAT excitement..when my buddy dropped a slammer, we were ALL pumped up...its a team thing...so my season will really NEVER end till it closes...
