I still go hunting each year but i don't feel the need to shoot just any deer that comes by.

If MR. big comes out so be it,till the last weekend of the season then i will shoot one for the fridge.
Varmints will get shot when they come on the place and go after our animals.

Doves get the best for a few hunts then i just watch.

Now turkeys are another matter,i would match wits those wiley citters any day.

And the worst is having someone from town throw out their dogs on the farm,would rather shoot them than the dogs.

Seems like after having a near death experience makes one just want to get up early and sit a stand and watch what happens in the woods.
It never bothered me if the tags went unfilled.
