Not trying to start a urinating contest just wondered where people draw the line?

I lease land, but from what I've seen a guided hunt wouldn't be my cup of tea.

Instead of being a "trophy hunter" I'm starting to look for the trophy in the experience. I'm really thinking about picking up a recurve to add more of a challenge to my hunting. I still hunt with a shotgun,but it's kind of a let down when gun season starts now.

For me it's getting to be I'd rather shoot an average deer,then a large rack buck that's made not grown. By that I mean, all the antler supplements,supplemental feeding, food plots etc aren't for me.

I use a tree stand, but I'm really leaning away from all the high tech things that are coming into our sport.

I feel were turning the corner to instant gratification in hunting and I personally think I'm going to go the other way.When it becomes common place to see and kill 140 class deer what will be next?

Disclaimer: This is how I feel. It's not how what I think everyone should do.
