MPH PA., For me the kill has always been very very important.
I spend all year in the woods, Feb thru April enjoying shed hunting every bit as much as hunting, From May thru Sept, I enjoy using my trail cams as much as hunting, from mid July thru Sept I enjoy sitting in my stands hunting deer with my bino's and video camera just as much as deer hunting, but from about the 3rd week in Sept thru the end of Jan. its all about the kill. I can enjoy everything else about hunting, nature ect. the other 9 months of the year. But the one thing I do not under stand is that I read on this site and others all the time about the kill isnt that important, but I rarely see any one else sitting in stands, glassing deer, shed hunting, and just taking walks thu the deer woods the other 9 months of the year. If they truely did enjoy all the other aspects of deer hunting as much or even more than the kill then you would think the same guys I see everywhere in the deer woods during the deer seasons, I would also run into in the woods the other 9 months of the year.
