Not me.

I go out, walk up two flights of stairs - take off my boots, light a fire, start a pot, then turn on the TV and watch the news whilst having my morning coffee and a doughnut or two.

When it gets light - I open up the blackout curtains and wait for the deer to come get breakfast.

Then I shoot them. 

Any moron can go out in the woods and be miserable.

So, it's not really 'hunting', is it?  More like 'target practice'.

The point of shooting deer is to get food. It's not for "sport" - whatever that is.

Making a clean kill and "giving the deer a sporting chance" are diametrically opposed ideas.

You do absolutely everything you can do to drop a deer in it's tracks - or you just close your eyes and start yanking the trigger.

I prefer a effective approach. I don't want to inflict unneccessary suffering - and I hate tracking....

Killing for sport is a pathology. We got a few such nutters on the boats, but they weren't team players and often were medal hunters as well. We packed them off if they survived long enough to be obvious.

I got up 15 minutes after the SO had headed to work - and looked out the living room window...

A doe and two fawns under the yard light -not 100 ft from the house - browsing through the remains of the garden... About all that's left is carrots and squash.

I guess they get sick of soybeans and corn - and like some light for seeing their breakfast.

Brazen little bastards.
