RE: If it's easy to shoot a deer, does it lose it's challenge?
I think when people hunt in high deer density area,, it starts off as a challenge to just be successful,, but after years of success,, yes it does become a little easier,, but as hunters i think we all raise our standards little by little or choose more challenging methods of hunting our chosen game,, whether by going to a more primitive weapon, or a diffferent tactic to connect with the game.. Some people raise the bar on what they are willing to hang a tag on, and decide to harvest more does instead of small bucks,, or match wits with a specific animal that they have chosen to take, and spend countless hours trying to learn that one particular deer, then the harvest is very sweet.
