Default Hunting uder YOUR terms

Do you hunt under YOUR terms, or do you make yourself available for as many chances/options as you can get?

Do you restrict yourself(not just rack size) ...whether it be by not using calls or scents. Hunting trad. Keeping a very close shooting limit despite being an adequate shot at farther distances. Choosing not to use "gimmicks" whether proven to be effective or not, bow only, etc.

Or do you use any available technology, practice and are willing to shot at what ever feasible distance you need to, in orderto take the deer, use all weapons, etc.

ok....

i dont really restrict myself in any way. but dont use anything available for me. last year i experimented with scents and calls...i honestly think ill leave them at home next year...

i like my shots close...but if i have a 35yd shot and its PERFECT i know my shooting will kill the deer for sure...

if its legal with 4 on one side i will most likely let the arrow loose when i get a shot...later in life i see myself being more selective of size...but i havent killed one with a bow yet..

if i dont get er done in bow season i still got rifle and flintlock season


pretty much id say i hunt under MY terms. do things my way...

Let me elaborate...... It depends. This might be one of those threads that's destined to be hi-jacked because it has no merit of it's own. LOL

I have been hunting out of a natural ground blind for turkeys this year with a bow because it is much more of a challenge and makes for some amazing footage without the doublebull

I hunt with recurves and longbows,use scents on occassion,wear camo,I keep my shots under 20yds and I'll take any legal deer that gives me the shot I want to take(if I decide to shoot).I hunt full moon,half-moon or whatever phase it's in if I feel like going out in the morning.Many times I get up and just go back to bed

WOW, What a broad question.
AAAAHHHH!!!! NO , no restrictions here. The only restrictions I have are where I can hunt.
