Most hunters evolve through a series of stages:
1. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill quantity over quality
2. Kill less and hunt more, pass up a few shots that are low percentage
3. Kill a lot less and trophy hunt, pass up most everything
4. Rarely kill anything except the occasional meat for the pot and really big trophies, they find the process of hunting and associating with their buddies to the the true pleasure..
If you follow the norm, then with experience you will prefer the challenging hunt over the more certain hunt.....leaving the woods without a deer won't be the least bit disappointing, and unless you missed out on a real trophy, you will come to appreciate leaving the woods without a deer.
Just some general philosophical BS to try to explain that it is the hunting, not the killing, that is the thing...and that is where using traditional primitive weapons comes in, the limitations that come with them are what improves the hunting experience....
