Thats a loaded question........many of us here pass on animals most would kill.  Its about being at different points in your hunting life.  Young/new hunters see a kill as success........I see hunting as seperate from killing, with killing being the culmination of a successful hunt, but a successful hunt does not require a kill.

Some of us like to hunt more than others........others prefer to kill something asap.  Ive ate my share of tags by passing lesser bucks right up to the end.  Hunting, like many other things in life, means different things to different people.  I love to hunt, and will kill the right animal......but mostly, I love to hunt.

What he said!

Last buck I took was in 07, since then I've been real picky and this year it payed off

Welcome to the site  :hello: and how about posting up that buck in the 2013 bucks thread?

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Usually in the first 1-3 hours.   This year I think I made it to 7 hours :chuckle:   hard to tell really after 30+ years of harvesting a buck in Washington.  Sooner or later
