[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5542556, member: 19900"] I think the real answer is..... Why compare yourself to anyone else? That way lies misery. There is ALWAYS someone with a better property, more money, bigger bucks. WHY do you feel the need to compare with others? What insecurity lies behind this? Instead, compare yourself to your past self. Are you having more fun this season than previous seasons? Are you trying new techniques? Hunting with friends? Are you focusing on enjoyment rather than inches of horn, or what someone else is doing? Did you enjoy hunting in the past, but not so much now? What changed? Here is a little secret. Nobody really cares about the bucks you kill. Seriously. Kill a whopper at deer camp. Everyone will oooh and ahhh for about 5 minutes. Then they go get a beer and ask when dinner will be ready while you are at the skinning shed cleaning your deer. You will be lucky if the rest of the guys save you a beer, let alone prepare you a kings feast as the bestest hunter in all the world ! As to QDMA, property management, growing deer, whatever you want to call it. If you are ONLY doing it to measure horns, weiners, or egos then I pity you. If you are doing it for the ENJOYMENT of doing it, then you are onto something. Farming can be fun if expensive and a lot of work. At the end of the day, hunting is supposed to be FUN. Let go of all the jealousy, insecurity, and ego, THEN figure out what you really enjoy about hunting. Do more of that. If you love planting stuff, put in a food plot or some fruit trees and enjoy your farming too. [/QUOTE]
