I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I was taught there were three reasons to kill something. The three "P"s
Profit Protection Provisions
A fourth "P", Pride, was frowned upon. I suppose that's why I'm not a trophy hunter.
Tony, I agree. Now, the killing is based on provisions and protection. I hunt for the freezer first, the wall is a distant 2nd.
Going to Wi.? Since I don't usually bring meat home from there (I'll usually give it to family there) hunting is more of a socializing trip and to visit family than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I still like to spend time in the woods, (even tho it's brutally cold some years), but a bigger part of that trip is the people vs the hunting.
