But for Gods sake let people enjoy hunting for their own reasons. If a basket rack 6 pointer brings you joy then shoot it and congrats to you. If nothing short of a 150" deer does it for ya.... so be it good luck to you too. If a tender doe and meat in the freezer is what you're out there for then that's great too. If just sitting in a tree taking in nature is what you're after....... that's wonderful. Too each their own and everyone enjoy hunting for whatever your personal reasons may be.
This is it in a nutshell. Hunting is a individual sport, with individual goals/joys/etc. Hunters make it competition just like any fraternity but this should only be in fun IMHO. The real competition lies within oneself..it is you and only you. Much like golf only the guy swinging the club can effect the outcome. If your happy that is all that counts.
