[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5785468, member: 1409"] Amazing how parallel our thoughts. If I don't kill a buck this year in TN, it will be my 3rd consecutive year of not. Half the bucks I pass get killed by my friends/family, and I'm usually as happy or happier about that than if I had taken them myself. What I don't understand is old hunters (much like myself) with a wall full of mature bucks who can't seem to themselves go buckless for a year or two, even when that means they are compelled to take out the top-end 2 1/2's, that might be personal bests for some young hunters in their circle of hunters. At some point, many hunters, like you have had, have a paradigm shift, and become more hunter-managers, more focused on helping the younger hunters than themselves limiting out each year. And ironically, you likely enjoy your hunting more than ever before. Go figure :) In related thoughts . . . . . . .
