Good stuff there man! I find myself watching more and shooting less these days also. I'll get an ol itchy finger every now and then, but like I said, it's less than ever before.

Nice pics. I have hunted 3 evenings this year had deer in bow range each time and have yet to draw back. I learn more by watching than killing.

I usually have a kid with me. If I shoot it's going on the wall. No one but me eats the meat and it don't get cooked much. But I'd much rather see a kid shoot a doe or a good little 8 than me.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

I too have become much more of a hunter than a shooter in the past few yrs. I could have shot probably somewhere around 40 last yr. Took one good 10 in January and I was done. Haven't even been in a tree this yr, all of the does I am seeing around my hunting places have fawns with them that are 2-3 weeks old. No way I would shoot one right now on my places, esp with the very low densities I have.

Great pictures! How do you keep the shutter from spooking deer at close range? I have a Nikon D3100 that I carry some but I'm sure I spook a doe at 30-40 yards with the sound of the camera shutter. Any suggestions? I use a towel to cover camera, however I will not take a pic inside 20 yds. The big thing for me is knowing the noise will not run them off, but the slightest movement when they look up will get me busted.
It's not a Passion, it's an Obsession. That's what I tell my wife, but she promptly informs it's a disease to which is incurable.

I also do a lot of observation and heavy trail camming than shooting. Unless it's thinning the doe population some and removing the "mutt" bucks I do more QDMA than anything regarding "if it's brown, it's down" theory.
Nice excursion and pics you embarked on.
