Where I hunt in Texas, in a normal year it is no challange to see whitetails every time you go out. Most are at shootable ranges. You could say it is not "hunting", but "game shooting", as the Brits say. Some folks take does with head shots, to keep the challenge (pretty common apparently, been talked to death on this board and others!).
Me? I do different things to keep it from being cut and dried. I shoot with flintlocks, handgun caliber rifles, and handguns. I watch from ground blinds, to bushes to ghiliesuits. I've played games to see how close I could stalk. There are lots of things to do that will make things more of a challenge. My next step is to take a whitetail with my 20 bore flint fowler, hopefully this year.
