I'm having just as much fun watching the deer, not shooting and waiting for the big boy to show. I'm learning a lot about deer behavior being able to watch them for a couple of hours per day. I'm amazed at what spooks them and what doesn't. I can't believe how far away they can pick up on something different in the woods, be it another deer coming, or someone talking a couple hundred yards away. Gunfire doesn't seem to bother them, at least when it's a couple hundred yards away and further.
