RE: If you can talk the talk....you'd better.....
CUDO's to you!!! I love to hear that some of us aren't all out just to fill tags. I mean that is ok and all but it seems that many guys post about everything is trophy, etc. However I doubt that filling tags is our true motive to love this sport.
I here you, great points. If some of us don't give these 120's time to grow, then big/mature ones would never be around to dream about and chase. I mean to each his own, if you are tickled with a buck or a 120 then good. However many of us want and maybe even expect more. I laugh at guys who say I just couldn't afford to let him walk, but yet say man I sure wish I could get a trophy. Hunting present one but many opportunities, it is really what you do with those that create success. To me as a "Trophy Hunter" I can't wait to try and take it to the next level, I love the whole hunting experience, the meat and the harvest are a reward, not a given. Plus for 9 months of the year I think about it and finally those 3 months I can do it, why settle!
Oh I know you "Trophy Hunters"...blah blah blah!!!! I hear it all the time and well what you do to make your hunting experience successful and rewarding is great, however it doesn't translate to me. Plus the topics states it, if you say I will, then don't say well I settled!
Happy hunting and have a safe season!!!
