ALL THE ABOVE and there's too many guys in the woods during rifle season that are trigger happy.

i love being in the woods and the enjoyment of the wildlife, but i ain't gonna lie - i am there for the thrill and the trophy.

if i was sure i wasn't going to ever see a deer in range, i wouldn't be putting the time and effort into it.

I enjoy the thrill and rush of having a 6-point bull bugle from 20 feet away! That's why I bowhunt, and if I never kill another elk with a rifle, then I will have lived a fulfilling life by my standards.

Germ sent me this a while back......and this is probably the best explanation I could give to anyone as to why I do what i do.......

"The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the descendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter." - Finn Aagard

Jeff, I like that quote, but for me, I like the kill part of the hunt
