[QUOTE="Winchester, post: 4543069, member: 2142"] Bottom line is, at least 95% if not more deer hunters are after a BIG rack point blank period! Do lots settle for less and be happy, sure they do, and if not would go without most times. But again the BIG antlers is why deer hunting has became as big an industry as it has, NOTHING else caused it. just giving my opinion to the original question depends on where im hunting. If im on public land or land where I dont have long term access, any buck with antlers big enough to make me happy gets shot if possible. Now on my Leases or places I hunt yearly its a different story and I will pass some really good young bucks because of their age, only because I will have an opportunity to hunt them when they get older/bigger hopefully. As for shooting the older bucks with smaller racks, im not all about this either especially since I will have to burn one of only 2 buck tags that I could possibly use on a larger racked buck. Once I have a deer close enough to pull the trigger or release, im actually happy knowing I could have killed him vs actually burning a tag on one that doesnt really make me happy! [/QUOTE]
