I'm with you on the "buying in" to everything. I can't pass one up because it may be the "one" that brings the deer in. Can't argue with you there.



To you it isn't. But, not everyone feels the same way about the hunt. Honestly, I climb a tree in my climber sometimes and sleep more than I'm awake. I may miss some deer, I may not. But, when opportunity knocks I'm nocking an arrow or pulling a trigger. Not everyone "hunts" the same. To me, doghunting isn't sporting or ethical...and you can't convince me that all the adrenaline does venison any good. Even so, I'm not going to beat down those who doghunt the right way because that's their choice. Passing judgement on the legal choices of others isn't right and shouldn't be done. You "hunt" your way for your reasons, just as others do. That doesn't make their way wrong or right, just a different way.
My first post on this forum and I just want to say, very nice post, Breezer. I don't know if I personally would have taken the shot, but I agree with what you just said. This is my 2nd season of hunting (well, when firearms season starts in VA in a couple of weeks), and I learned PRIMARILY so that I could put meat on the table in tough times (and believe me, they are COMING!). I wasn't sure if I would enjoy hunting or not, but I was pleased to find out at 30 years of age that I LOVE it and wish I had gotten into it a long time ago.
