Great read Ty! Thanks for sharing that with us. Tough spot to be in. I would like to say I would make the correct decision, but can't really say until I'm in that situation. Hope I don't have to find out
I've come to realize for each person the "correct" decision is fuzzy at best. I hope each person who reads this or is ever put in that position has thought about it prior and can be content and happy with their decision. I know personally I don't want any regrets when harvesting a deer of any sex or size, especially not one going on my wall....but that's something each hunter must decide for themselves. I know for me it becomes much more clear cut when I think of how I hope to raise a son or daughter to be a better steward than I ever was, and to be able to tell them I've done things a certain way with pride means a lot to me. Thanks for the kind words!
