Thank you very much. I am the only hunter near by and I do not hunt where I have their feed and water. I usually go on my daughters property, or further north I have rental property that I can use to access property behind the property. I grew up with parents who raised most all their own food, or lived on wild game.
I hate killing, but I do not like buying "factory" meat. The conditions the animals have to live in are horrible.
I have nicknames for some of the deer. I have watched the same ones for years and can recognize most. I try and take camera with me when I go out so one of my favorite come buy and just watch them and if I can try and get a photo or two. So when I am close to home I am very selective.
