Now I’m doing good to be able to get in 3-4 hunting days a year and I like to have meat in the freezer. So if it’s legal and land owner allows it I’m pulling the trigger

It’s the ones that I don’t even have to think about it that I shoot. That’s what makes me happy. If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.-Mark Twain

I'm not a trophy or antler hunter, so age/rack doesn't matter to me. That said, way more often than not, I don't shoot them at all. Last buck I killed was a young(ish) 7 point in January 2010, first of only 2 times I even got to go that season. When I first saw him, he was coming straight towards me and I'd decided not to shoot him. After trying to wave him off twice and even hollering at him to try to get him off the scent trail he was tracking, he still came straight to me, so I changed my mind and shot him. Usually prefer to just watch them, and when I do shoot a deer, usually prefer does. Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby... I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.
