"How" I kill a buck is very important to me too

exactly what i was thinking..... but i would shoot the biggest one...Plinker would have to settle for the smaller of the two...

Whats cheap about hunting 13 weekends 12 with a bow. Most were 3 and 4 day weekends, normally one week straight. Around 45 days in a stand, Id say a fair average of 10 hours a day in the weather. Doubt I hunted a time that I didnt walk a mile to my stand up hill both ways LOL. Sleeping in my truck many nights if I sleep at all. Did I mention its a 4 hour drive to where I hunt each way?

I look at it as an opportunity. Would you shoot a B&C buck with 3 legs or blind how about one that was jumped up out of a corn field by a combine. Right place right time thats all, no differet in my mind. Yeah the buck would have an * beside it but, it would most certainly get shot.

Ill add, I rely on mature buck to slip up when he does Im gonna be there and take full advantage of it.

what is more important to you.One stuck in a fence or two locked up?lol

I said nothing of "walking up on locked bucks",only it happening in front of you,while hunting
