Slag... yup. Got my deer license again this year. Haven't shot a deer since I can't recall. Haven't taken even a partridge for years and I was an avid hunter for many years. As well, we must apply for a doe draw, which I have done for yeeeears longer and never took a doe when I had a doe tag.

Last time I fired on a buck it was to scare him back into the woods when I saw another hunter draw down on him. Yes, not cricket and I don't know why I did that. It just seemed the right thing to do at the time.

But, if that hunter had shot that buck, I would have helped him gut it and haul it and I would have enjoyed my deer steaks and pancakes with maple slurpup. I still love a deer/moose fry but I'd rather photograph them.

Your idea that people should buy a hunting license and not hunt is a great idea. I hope the tree huggers do just that.
