I take stillhunting seriously sometimes and i aware of it. I expect to see deer everytime in the places i hunt, seeing as the population is so high. I dont see it as a failure of a hunt, but i do get a little cranky if i go twice in a row and dont see deer. I enjoy nature, but i am there to see deer. I compete every year with my brother and some friends, so sometimes i take stillhunting too serious. We all throw in 20 apiece and the winner of the most bucks/combined with points get the money, but more importantly the bragging rights all year. Now whengeneral gun season rolls around and we allrun hounds then it is all fun and we arelucky to just enjoy hearing the dogs run one more year.
