Worst hunting season for me ever

This is the first time in 50 years I could not go hunting and it just hurts for me to even acknowledge it...The fact is old age finally caught up with me and I just had to use my head and get out of the woods.. I could shoot one out the window anytime I feel like it but that is not me..The one doe my wife feeds just had her at least 20th birthday and she was mature when the wife started feeding her..Friends will always look at her and say how do you know its the same one and I reply simple--look at her right ear its split right down the middle and guess what we call her---YUP "Splitear" and show them pictures from years ago.. I have always taken pride in the fact I hunted and found the game by myself and I did not kill more than I can use..I hunted 7 different states on public land and went 50 years getting my animal-even put a few in t he record books...Unlike some of these guys I read about in hunting magazines who go out with 5 guys following them and being shown what to shoot.I maintain if I turned one of these guys loose on my place he would mostly get lost and starve to death..They are not hunters just shooters.Craig Boddington -Buck Mcneely and Zumbo come to mind.They make a bad name for the once a year hunters...
