WV Hunter

Hunting Va & WV....I have more tags then I wouldcare to fill (unfortunately). That said....yes, I would still hunt even if I tagged the buck I wanted. I love just being out there like some of the others have said. Plus you never know what can happen...

After I shot my buck last year.....I didn't hunt for 11 days. I needed the rest. My woods needed the rest. I still hunted the last month of the season pretty hard and took a nice doe next to last day of the season.

If I were to take a good buck soon.....I'm gonna get some other things done.....take some time away from the woods. I went on my 51st hunt of the season, this morning. I'd still hunt when Will's here (iamyourhuckleberry) OR better yet just film for him. I'd like to take a good buck.....but have no desire to really "kill" any more this year. It's been a good year, harvest-wise. If I know my wife, though.....she's gonna want one more to be taken.....a little, tender one...lol.

My tags are full. I went out with the camera last weekend. I love being out there.

In IL, we have a similar situation with doe tags, we can buy as many as we want. If I kill a good buck, i'll try for a doe too, but not nearly as hard as I would have without that buck being killed. I do love being out there, but when the pressure if off, its a little tougher to brave the cold!

I give it everything I got until the end, go every chance I get rain or shine until the end of the season

Yep, I'm still hunting after I got this years buck.Got 4 more days of vacation time starting tommorrow and got a pocket full of doe tags! I love being in the woods and hunting for does during the rut lets me see any nocturnal bucks in my area that I haven't been able to see in daylight hours previously. I'll take my camera to get video of any bruisers. Close encounters get my heart going just as much as if I'm at full draw.
Plus Iowa has the HUSH program, so all the does I shoot go to feed the hungry and help to balance the herd at the same time. I probably won't sit as long or endure the same weather I would if I still had a buck tag, but I'll continue to hunt. It's what I wait 11 months of the year for.

I think I'm just on the verge of needing to take a day or two "off" from hunting. Hopefully this will pass. Problem is.....it's the wrong time of year to be thinking that.

Being honest.....if I tag a buck in the next week and a half.....I'm gonna give it a rest. I'll go hard as heck until that happens, though. I'll be back out there in a couple hours.....and probably sit all day every day next week. I need to get aggressive before the smoke poles take over my woods.

I understand the wear and tear that you get from the early rising and the late night...gotta get the family time in. This year is new for me, for the first time ever (4 month old baby girl) so if I filled my tags maybe I will take a break...that is if I fill all 10 Doe tags and both buck tags[:-]

Well Isaw where you saidyou've been out 51 times and I was kinda thinking you've beenpretty gung-ho early on! Don't burnyourself out. If you take a couple days off and the first time you see a buck out in the field with his nose to the ground you'll be back home scrambling for your gear!

We hardly get any extra tags the way It Is here In Minnesota where I hunt. If I was given more then one tag I'd keep plugging away until the tags were used up. I can eat like a horse and I'm always out of venison come February.
