I like to hunt and kill animals, whatever I'm hunting.
Sometimes I choose to be very selective and pass up shots. Other times, I want something in my pot and if it's a small buck or doe or hen mallard or whatever, so be it. I have chosen the last several years to not shoot does because I didn't believe it was good for where I hunted at the time. When I hunt with someone else on their property, I abide by their rules and appreciate the opportunity.
I don't only choose to shoot giant monsterwallbangerhanger bucks and truly don't give two chits what you want to hunt and shoot or how you do it, with a rifle or bow or crossbow or trad bow or handgun or muzzleloader. Doesn't matter as long as you're hunting legally and ethically.
I don't go to listen to birds or "watch creation wake up" or see game animals but then let them go. Seeing all of that is cool but that's not my main objective when I'm hunting. If I want to be a hiker or bird-watcher then I'll do it some other time. I enjoy all of it: scouting, trying to figure them out, choosing what I want to hunt-shoot-pass, cleaning, cooking, eating.
I like to hunt and kill animals. Hopefully I'll always be that way.
Well said
