[QUOTE="db-2, post: 180893, member: 4743"] Well I am to old not to take the easy way. db (the harvest of a big deer is great but it does not happen very often and for me once I got a buck 2 inches below the 170 net with my bow, maybe this year. But the real joy is planning, planting, watching and being able to see deer along with all the other stuff one never knew was out there, so the food plot, trail camera (as I do not know every deer in my spots) and bait is there just not only for the reason of harvesting a deer). I have no interest in going back to putting a piece of cloth over my privates, stalking in the bug full bush and having no success in even seeing a deer. I am just not that kind, time or skill hunter for that. I probably bring a bow with me 15-20% of the time I go to my stands to sit, if that. But a camera always comes along. Yes 5 bucks in 20 years with the bow. There was a time when the kill was everything, there was a time when I was young, now and then I have a 160 class buck and hope for next year when they will be 170, it just does not work out very well. But the visit I have had with the deer are priceless, I want to visit with that same deer next year and my memory bank if full of those visits. [/QUOTE]
