I dont think they have skewed anything, and there is no right answer to this question. Yes I am hung up on big bucks, but only because I have shot my fair share of small bucks and I could easily get one every year. But focusing on the big boys is a real challenge, and I fail many many more times than I succeed. I have never ever had a rack of mine officially scored. Mainly because I dont care, as long asI am happy, and whatever kind of deer someone else chooses to shoot, as long as they are happy too.
