Personally I have killed enough deer in my lifetime, that it is not just about killing something anymore. I dont consider myself a Trophy hunter only, but where I live you can only archery hunt for deer, and allowed only one buck. So yes until the last week of season I pass on alot of decent bucks. Then if I have had no luck, i get meat for the freezer.

I put to much work in scouting, hanging stands, and staying up at night all excited planning the next days hunt to just shoot the first average buck that walks by.

To each his own.
