I didn't want to shoot a small buck but I did indeed want to shoot the one I did. The meat was given to a good friend and I'm quite certain he ate it all.
I do not kill for the sake of killing! I will shoot big deer or any legal moose or elk. We eat 1.5 elk or moose each year.
I guess I'm in my trophy phase when it comes to deer, next is the archery phase I'm told. If it happens good, but if it do happen I won't feel the need to hunt with smoke pole or rifle if I am not successful during archery.
As for hunting and shortening seasons. I believe you asked if I enjoyed hunting at all! There are plenty of opportunities to hunt other than big game.
Go wack some coyotes or wolves if you feel the need.
I enjoy it after Xmas and there is nothing else to chase.
