I know on my hunts the thrill for me is just being out there. I normally see deer on 2 out of 3 hunts. I have hunted 4 seasons in AR and this is either a pitiful statement or just plain unlucky. I have never, not once seen(go out normally 5 times per season) a legal antlered deer. So my meat has been doe only when season permits. I keep praying to see a legal buck but heaven only knows I'll probably crap my pants and scare the thing any how. I just love to be out there.
