I always respect the hunt more than the kill but know the roller coaster of emotions that accompanies the pursuit of mature animals. I thank you for sharing and you have my respect.

Sounds like a great season to me - one that you will likely never forget, and one that I could only imagine through the detailed descriptions and personal feelings provided by you. I felt like I was right there with you, feeling your concerns and sufferings.

Congrats on your personal lessons learned. (great buck too!)

Post by: elkboy on December 02, 2014, 09:56:06 AM: Beautifully written. I also have gotten complacent in hunts that I figured I had "wired", only to be frustrated by an "easy" doe hunt. Deer have a way of restoring our humility by surprising us with their elusiveness and adaptability. I suppose that's why we still have them around to hunt- they are the furthest thing from a dodo bird, that's for sure.

Have you considered a career as an outdoors writer?

Post by: fishngamereaper on December 02, 2014, 10:19:34 AM: Well done :tup:....Kind of reminds me of my elk hunt this year..Takes a couple good knock downs to put you in your place and help you remember what the hunt is really about.

Post by: baldopepper on December 02, 2014, 10:48:04 AM: Very nice write up and a respectable buck. The facial expressions in your pictures do a good job of summing up your feelings about the hunt (and your future hunts).
