Supposed to be a 75% chance tomorrow morning as well until noon. A 1/4 mile walk across a freshly planted muddy wheat field doesn’t seem as much fun as it used to either.
I am in this camp. Shoot what you want, I don't give a rat's rear what someone harvests. If you want a doe, spike, fawn, 180 score buck, whatever. Just enjoy your time in the field and "you do you" as my DIL says.
my dad shoots the first deer he sees that he can make a good shot on.
I have this exact issue so I passed today and will tomorrow also.
I might go tomorrow afternoon, but will ride the 4 wheeler all the way to the blind if I do which is not typically the norm. I like to slip in quietly, but with all the tractor activity going on for the last three days, I might break that rule.
With mom passing on Friday I stayed with dad, my brothers and our families yesterday. We had scheduled our Thanksgiving earlier for mom but ultimately didn't work out.
I decided to get out of the house and chance seeing something this evening. I bumped four deer on the way to the shooting house.
I rattled this guy in about 4 or so.
I wasn't sure how much more hunting I'd feel like doing so after this 7 point walked in front of me twice I decided to pull the trigger. The last time was a little before 5. He's not the biggest by any means but I took the shot anyway.
This was the first trip to the woods where I didn't see at least one doe. Saw four or five bucks cruising for love.
With all of the junk that life has thrown at the family since mom entered hospice care back in August and with the funeral being Tuesday, I think I'll enjoy this hunt for a while and then might get back out after gun season settles down.

Heck yeah!!! Congrats! 
I guess I missed it that your Mom passed, and I can’t even express how much that hurts my heart for y’all. Prayers to you.

Sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I’m sure she was a great mom.
Getting away like you did is good for the soul. Gives time to reflect and mourn privately.
I would have done the same thing.
