What do you enjoy most about deer hunting?

im sitting here watching some hunting in tv and thinking about the approaching deer season. As a 30yr old man i have anticipation like a kid waiting for Christmas morming. For me hunting has changed over the years, I think we all go through different stages of hunting. When i was younger it was see deer, shoot deer! Now i find more joy in watching deer, only taking one if i need the meat or someone else does.. or if its a mature buck. Im no animal rights activist by any means, but i find myself passing on more deer these days than shooting them. There is just someting about getting out of the house, no work, no stress, just me..God..and nature that sets my mind at ease. The best time for me is mornings, right as i get settled in the stand in the pitch dark, that 30-45 mins before daylight where i cant see anything. i can sit back in the stand and relax and reflect on things. Then as daylight breaks its awesome!! the birds start to chirp, the squirrels start to come out of there nest, the woods are waking up! I like to get a deer just like everyone else, but its those moments i look to more now than the "kill". What is your favorite moment? im sure some of you enjoy time at the camp with camily and friends, or im the stand with your kids, or mayb it is just the thrill of killing the deer! And there is nothing wrong with that, its how we all got started on this lifestyle!
