[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1026410, member: 1656"] I wish I had the luxury to be a method or sportsman stage, but I am anchored first by another stage not defined there - meat hunter. It takes 3-4 good sized deer to feed the 2-3 families I feed each year. Given my work, some years this is a real challenge and others I get there then get to relax and enjoy some method or sportsman hunting. This year a trip out west was not in the cards (too much work travel). I have a 1.5 hour drive to where I hunt, though I am working on that. I only got 3 mornings hunting in, and due to work travel two were very late in firearms season and one in muzzleloading. I got one doe in each season and never saw a buck. I'd like to bowhunt more. I'd like to shoot a deer with a revolver. The property owner where I hunt already has an opinion, I can tell, against my long-range shots despite how successful they are (this year was 300+ yards with a 358 wildcat and 175 yards offhand with a smokeless ML). But basically I do what I have to do to take a good number of deer in the few hours of hunting I have available right now. One day I will have the luxury of hunting several days a week and being able to do what I WANT to do. [/QUOTE]
