I have not lost focus. I enjoy the whole experience. Scouting, reading magazines, chatting in forums like this, practicing at the range and more....Heck, I even enjoy washing all my hunting gear in the laundry. Imagine that.
I am proud to shoot any deer and will teach my children as best I can to enjoy the whole experience. The size of the antlers or body is not as important, to me anyways, as is the whole memory of the hunt - pre and post hunt. The joy and pleasure of being a deer hunter lies in the details for me.
