Your rule is good too.
Just so the rule is understandable.
And of course nice pass to the wife every time.

Two years ago i was very very tempted - a brute of a buck was guarding a doe all day. We had so much fun watching him move around guarding her and run off 4 other bucks that we did not go out all day. He made a real mean facial expression, quartered, and fuzzed up at each buck. He was too big to chase them. They all slunk away. At the end of the day we had sore eyes from binoculars and the spotting scope.

Why do you hunt? Is it for the excuse be outside? Do you want to brag about what a great hunter you are and hang antlers in a trophy room? Do you like eating venison? Did you shoot careful and give the animal a quick death? Do you think its unethical to eat animals you bought at the grocery store?
