I ended my season this year without killing a buck. I don’t recall the last time that happened or if it ever has. I’m not at all mad at ‘em though or disappointed. All in all, this might be the most I’ve enjoyed hunting season since I was kid. The older I get, the less and less hunting becomes about killing something or trying to reach some hunting goals we’ve set for ourselves or allowed society to impose on us. It’s just been over the last few years that I’ve come to the realization that’s its more about enjoying the moment with those folks you get a chance to share the memories with. Maybe this realization can only come to someone through your own personal experiences and as time goes by…..but I would encourage anyone out there to take the pressure off yourself and just go hunting. smile

….or fishing too. I see so many posts on here about this, that, or the other concerning how many someone has killed or how big someone’s buck was, etc…Just try to keep it all in perspective fellas and focus on the things that are truly important. I think you’ll find your time in the outdoors to be much more enjoyable. smile

Yep. That's what it's all about. Heck, I've only killed one buck in the last 4 years. It's not because I haven't seen any. I've seen plenty. But all the ones I've seen would've certainly had their antlers sawed off at the skinning shed. That doesn't excite me anymore so I'm content to watch them. Despite not killing any bucks, each season has been a success in some form or fashion.

This was the first year in probably 25 years that i didn't kill a racked buck, as well. Only positive was thinking about turkey season. I could have killed some, but i was more selective this year. My son killed 2 good bucks, that makes me happier than when i kill one.
