    Nope. Like Ben said, there's SO much more to the hunt than the kill. Granted, that's the ultimate goal, but there's plenty to enjoy aside from that, and I would certainly miss it.

    Absolutely not. I'd keep hunting with my compound.


    No, traditional tackle has no interest from me what so ever.

    Somewhat doing that now. Might make elk more of a priority and try to hunt them yearly. Right now, I'm off for Pronghorn then something else.

    I'm sure whitetails will always be in the menu.

    i wouldn't give it up i would continue to hunt Whitetails, i would hunt even harder to get that 2nd whooper of a buck that is 99.99% chance that i wouldn't get.

    I would not change anything neither. If anything that would make hunting even more fun.

    I would keep hunting whitetails because it is not the kill it is the hunt, me agaist the smartest animal out there as far as I am concerned. Don't think I don't like the kill but it is a small part of the picture and some big bucks you kill are pure luck like my biggest I killed last year I had not seen him before I did not out smart him The only thing I did right was put myself in a great spot from other sightings and made the shot when it was there. So killing a big one or the big one isn't always the end.. Walt
