Very good post skeeter!

I could really care less about score. I do try to pinpoint a few different bucks that I will hunt during the season. I try to take the biggest/most mature buck in my area that I've scouted all pre season.More because they present more of a challenge to hunt rather than a number they will score. I will pass on several small bucks during the season in pursuit of what I'm after. The small bucks just don't do it for me anymore. I'll shoot does for the meat. I'll eat bucktag soup before shooting a young buck. That's just me though. That's what personally makes me happy while hunting. Doesn't for 1 second mean everyone should adopt the same theory. Again.... to each their own.

And to date my favorite hunt ever was on a buck that would probably score 100? It was a long time ago and I wouldn't shoot that buck today, but I'll never forget that hunt. I still hunted him for over 3 hours.Long story short...ended up cutting him off and getting him within bowrange and taking him. It was absolutely awesome. That whole experience got the ole heart thumping and more memorable than some of the BIG bucks I've taken that are like textbook hunts. Set up... wind is perfect..steps out dead broadside at 15 yards.... no clue you're there..... TWAP!!!
