I was never a hard-core killer of big game or small and some of my best hunts I never fired a shot.
I love getting close and beating the animal, being inside their safety zone and they don't know I'm there.
If they volunteer, well I usually shoot but I've been hollered at for not taking the shot and just smiling and knowing I could have.

Killing to feed myself of family doesn't bother me in the least but I don't have to kill to have a successful hunt.

P.S. If Nebraska gets overrun with deer again I'll be there to help!
