RE: Tough Question
I enjoy the SUCCESS, not the kill. Plan, sight-in, gear up, drive, anticipate, hike, glass, see, select, stalk, lose the deer. Do it over again. Pass on the next. Do it again. Lose again. Do it again. Stalk succeeds, heart pounds, hurry but relax, deer in the scope, wait, deer turns, shoulder in the scope, hold breath, CONNECT! ADRENALINE! I did what I set out to do!
It's just like when I wrestled. I loved the win, but not seeing the other guy get beat.
