I'm starting to think the best way to see more big bucks is not to shoot so many! Well at least not with a gun, use a camera. Used to have a good number of big buck's come into town durning the rut but haven't seen one in years now. I think, should I have the chance in the future, I'm gonna take the camera durning buck season and hope for a nice big photo for the wall, then take the rifle for doe season. Maybe take the rifle along durning buck season looking for a spike! Spike, as I understand it is either a young low quality buck or a very old buck. Either way I doubt the population would be hurt taking a spike and it's still meat in the freezer. Here in Oregon to make it work I'd have to get a buck tag if I could draw one and a doe tag if I could draw one. Just an idea I got years ago from a guy with a sporting goods store in Ft Collins, Colo. He told me he'd given up elk hunting with a rifle and went to a camera and pulled out a bunch of photo's of very nice elk. I gave up elk hunting several years ago as I'm at the age where getting out a big elk probably isn't something I should be doing. It help's to think of this as as a younger person I always had a wife and/or kids to feed and simply subsistence hunting.

Anyway at my age I really don't need the food anymore and enjoy photography. Photo let's me let the subject, then to maybe see again another day.

I have a photo of a nice wolf also I see every day. Got it way up north in British Columbia near Dease Lake years ago. Get to see it every day and hope it lived a long life. Of course if I found it wild bird hunting with my dog's, it wouldn't live very long. I've read and seen photo's of what they do to dogs and don't agree with them out of the wilderness! Saw one out my last elk hunting trip, pretty wild country I don't bird hunt. Watched it a bit and let it walk off, didn't have a camera with me that time!
