NO I don't love to kill, thats why I don't shoot just any deer or animal, I will shoot a doe after bagging a decent mature buck. But I don't shoot any young bucks at all. The best part of hunting is just being out in the woods, and not having to deal with people, and being in your own world out there. I don't care whether I see a deer, or not, if I do it is a bonus. It is just being out there.

I have a couple of friends that shoot anything that walks buy, I hate the way they practice their hunting, there is no thrill in that, it is not called killing it is hunting for a reason. The thrill of hunting comes from the chase or all those patient days on stand waiting for that monster buck or maybe just a doe. Each animal deserves respect, whether a buck or doe. I grew up being taught that hunting is just not to kill. When I harvested my 1st doe, after tagging a nice buck, it did not feel the same, I did not keep the doe, I gave it to the outfitters father for meat during the winter. Wounding deer, is possibly the worst feeling ever, I can't stand wounding deer, I have before, 2 times, in 2yrs, and I looked for those deer forever, and without finding a trace of them, I thought that would make it the rest of the year, and which they did, as I saw them later in the season. Which made me feel better that they lived.

I enjoy being in the wilderness, it kind of solves all those stressful problems and lets you get away from that boring ole' working life.

I have had many people at school ask me how I can kill animals, especially those cute deer as they call them. They think I am just shooting everything, but they don't the managment practices, and if hunters weren't there, what would keep that deer herd in order? And every non-hunter thinks your killing Bambi, haha, I doubt many people shoot fawns or yearlings, and if they did, they should have a good cause for it, because there is no need to shoot that young of a deer!
