I dont take killing deer for granted, I work pretty hard, for my venison ,even the "easy" ones
I spend alot of time and $$$ on hunting. Between the scouting, range time ,handloading ammo, shooting my bow, time spent driving to hunting areas in the wee hrs of the morning, washing clothes organizing equipment, butchering, etc, along w/ the long hrs on stand...I'd say about 100hrs goes into each deer and I dont even want to think about what each deer must cost me[:@]
As far as other guys not getting deer, I feel bad for the guys who go it the hard way, on public land exclusively, or in parts of the country w/ low deer #s like in ME or the adirondacks, who put in long hrs and never even get to see deer. The guys who pass up bucks cause theyre not big enough , well thats their choice, if theyre cool w/ possibly eating tag sammys, then they dont need my sympathy.
