[QUOTE="mike243, post: 5696247, member: 3237"] As far as I know I have never watched him and very few deer hunts over the last 15 years, or more, I don't dream of killing a huge buck but I wouldn't pass 1 up, ask anybody that hunts with me and they will tell you I pretty much shoot the first legal deer that shows up, I prefer a 2.5 or older buck and have killed older and younger. It's like Christmas to me, I don't run camera's as I dont target a specific deer. I reckon the derogatory word meat hunter describes me pretty well. Thing is I'm thankful for just the chance to be out there and any deer is my present. I tried to be a trophy hunter for 5 years, I shot nothing buck or doe waiting on the 1. at some point I decided to either quit and fish full time or shoot what was offered, I started shooting what was offered and have been happy ever since. As I am aging out of hunting I feel no pressure to kill any thing or get a limit, the trip has been more important to me than meat in the freezer. If I was hunting and that deer came by me I would bust it and wouldn't know it was somebody's pet, I would be proud of it. I'm not sure about targeting subdivision bucks for horns, reckon I don't have to worry about that happening lol. Long as you hunt legal you will have to live with the morals of that hunt, killing a big deer doesn't prove you are a better hunter or person imo as luck plays the biggest role. Hope everybody has a great season and a safe 1. [/QUOTE]
