[QUOTE="db-2, post: 195241, member: 4743"] At 71 I started hunting in 59. Seen a lot from no deer to all kinds of deer. From no hunters to all kinds of hunters. From nothing posted to everything posted. From some not happy to most not happy. From rules broken to rules broken. From good memories to not so good memories. From hunting in a party to hunting alone. From walking all day to hunting when they come up for supper or breakfast. From getting the tag Friday morning to the lottery system. From putting the rifle away 20 years ago and buying a bow. From caring little about the deer to giving them names, talking to them and looking forward to the visits next year with them. In all that time I have five bow kills, three mule deer and maybe a handful or so of rifle kills prior to twenty years ago. I have been true to the beef industry as someone else always wanted the deer meat and on one occasions it was the coyotes before I found. It took a [B]long time[/B] but I finally found a way of hunting and enjoying the outdoors. The walk after dark in the woods last night with my 22 looking for raccoons brings a form of peace that I could not find while waking in the brush of my time in the highlands of Nam. What I ask now is that people quit walking next to me as my world is small. I enjoy the peace of loneliness. Of planting my food plots, trees and my cameras. I will retire and my plots will expand. My second request is please do not change the rules for archery. You guys can fight over the gratis tags, one or more tags, doe or buck, the rules that are broken or whatever. I promise I will seldom harvest a deer, I will provide for the deer, I will not apply for a whitetail deer rifle permit and if one is harvested it will be a buck of certain size with my bow. Life is never fair just let me have my share of unfairness if that is what I have. db [/QUOTE]
