I'm enjoying my local deer hunting right now. In NC,, we are allowed up to (6) deer. But only (2) of them can be antlered. I've already culled a buck I wanted to remove from the gene pool,, and I have a specific buck I'd like to take now.
So,, today,, I had a couple of smaller bucks walking around my area,, and I just smiled. I said (quietly) "Hang around here guys,, I won't bother you,, and if you are here,, nobody else will either."
A little later,, a noticeably bigger buck came slipping in. He's a fair 8-pt,, but not the one I seek. I could have easily taken him, as well as the others. But I have my hopes of a specific buck,, bigger,, and more elusive. I have about another month of season to try & connect with "that one."
So,, I'm allowing deer to walk on by.
