Good question! I' ll enjoy reading everyone' s answer.

For me, it would have to be primarily just soaking it all in, and secondarily bringing home the meat. None of my friends around here really hunt, so I' m going it alone usually, so comraderie is out (unfortunately). Not interested in trophies - I' ve met too many folks that get so hopped up on horns that they go to any illegal means necessary to get them. Since I absolutely will not do that, I figure that the playing field isn' t level, so I don' t even bother.

There is simply nothing quite as fulfilling as a crisp fall morning in the woods.
