Tony I have the horns from every deer I have ever shot. I can tell you where I was,what I was hunting with (Bow-rifle-shot gun) the state I was hunting and whom I was hunting with. Its all important to me,its who I am.
Hunting is not a new found hobby with me,I have hunted my whole life. A deer is so much more than meat in the freezer to me. Its more than a few months of enjoyment out of the year.
I am in the woods over 300 days per year,I don't go to 3d shoots and I don't golf, I spend my life in the woods.As soon as this season ends I will be cutting brush, trimming apple trees,then shed hunting will teach me what bucksmade it through the season and where they are staying safe. Spring will find me planting six acres of food plots that will keep the deer from roads and flower gardens where they are not as welcome.
Yes ..........I love deer,the live ones and the ones I've had a hand in killing.
I agree ... just trying to see where you were coming from .... I keep all the horns and memories from all my deer as well ..... I appreciate the fact the God put the deer here and has given me the ability to pursue them ..... I takes photos of every deer I kill and look at them, remembering the hunt .....
I guess I was trying to read between the lines of your post to see what you thought of Ryans original post ....... I still haven't figured it out
I am guessin you are somewhere in the middle?
