Just sort of an off-shoot from 'deer hunting a competion' thread.

I take pride in everything I do. Scouting, stand placement, the ability to sit for hours and hours on stand to wait for the perfect shot, shot placement, care of meat after the kill and even in cooking the meat for myself, family and friends.
Every single morsel of meat is used, what I don't scrope off the bones for burger I give to my dog.
My first buck...... I thought was a doe, he's on my wall with pride. Even though he had 3pts on one side and a spike on the other...... I call him 'corky'. I also have 2 basket bucks hanging and my biggest to date is a 4x4 that scored about 120"...... all hanging on the wall, if he grew them he earned them.
The 8 stands that I have out. I'm proud of. My hunting buddies use them too...... every time they tell me they are seeing more animals than last yr or ever b4...... I take pride. I joke with them that if they shoot anything its part mine or at least the stand and locations.
Just yesterday when I was out near my hunting area I saw a 5x5 in velvet w/lots of growing to do. I would definately take him w/PRIDE. A few abnormal growths and the tips of each point still had massive bulbs on them..... must have beeen a 20"+ inside spread and g2 were at least 8" long already...... not bad for a bush/marsh buck. The biggest I've seen out of these woods was take by a friend..... mainframe 5x5 but it had 21 points all together..... dream bucks.
