If a buck is legal I shoot him..if I feel like it. That's what I like about the public land I hunt..2 bucks a day..if you can and want to. I personally don't really think the trophy bucks are any harder to come by than any other deer...until you decide to hunt one particuliar one on open public land. Then it gets tough. I may see a big one right out in the open, during the middle of the morning or afternoon..but 99.9% of the time it's the first and only time I will see him. It's that 1/10% of my hunting time that is successful that gets me up every morning to do it all over again.
