X2 What Dave said.
I too have sat in the woods and sighted deer and not pulled the trigger. In my mind I count them as my trophies. And by my count I have killed more then I can count.
I sat in my stand one morning and had a great show of a very large doe and her two kids. They ran here and there and at one point she stopped short and the kids slammed into her rear end. I couldn't help it and laughed out loud. Suprisingly it didn't spook them. I really enjoyed the show.
This is what it is all about. The hunt and not the killing for killing s sake!!!
Until next year!
