I would consider that "trophy hunting" MN, but really, that's your perogative... if patience is your virtue, then keep plugging away at it, it will come sooner or later...

My outlook on it is, a deer in the freezer is better than no deer at all, so be it a button, spike, sasquwatch, doe, etc..., if I have a tag for it, it's going down (provided I make a good shot lol). I too am on the lookout for a biggun' too, but if lil' miss taste's good on my table comes along, she's a dead doe.

As for sitting vs. standing, my hunting season would have been soooo much easier had I practiced sitting and shooting as I have had a couple opportunities for a sitting shot. I just won't take it because I haven't practiced it. I say practice makes perfect, so get out there and take some shots from your toosh and see how it works out for ya!
