Default RE: Couple questions for "Trophy" hunters

ORIGINAL: gutshot

I've always practiced "Catch & Release"Bow Hunting. If I "catch" a deer comingto within bow range I "release" a arrow at it.[:-]
ROFL! I practice the same thing.

I am one of those middle of the road hunters. We, meaning my dad and I, hunt on public game lands. We pretty much take any deer we see because getting a deer can be very tough and seeing a mature "trophy" type deer may happen once every 10 years. I am happy with any good mature deer that i can get. I have shot half-rack spikes to nice 6 pt bucks and was thrilled with everyone of them. Never once was I disgusted with what i shot. Don't get me wrong, hell yeah I would love to shoot a trophy buck, but who wouldn't. I am just not going to commit myself to strictly shooting only trophy bucks when hunting, to me, isn't about the size of the rack on the deer. Everyone should hunt deer the way they want as long as it is legal.
