That's what I've enjoyed since the boy has started hunting that last 8 years; is focusing on getting him a deer (or 2). During this time I've only killed 3 bucks. Once we'd harvest a deer for the freezer, then I could enjoy "the hunt" for a bigger buck rather than just focus on killing any legal buck.

It's like when I morphed from "having" to kill a limit of steelhead/salmon to make the trip "successful", to enjoying the trip and IF we caught fish or if they were only wild it was still a great trip!
