Default RE: hunting becoming a competition

OK guys, im considering a big buck 115 inches rack which is my biggest so far. I killed it with a gun.2 years agoi hit a 120 class 8 point with a bow but unfortunately couldnt recover it after 13 hours of tracking. I got a pic of it a few months later and saw the scar from the arrow and it was healed. Anyway, 2 weeks later, I killed a 5 pointer and was just as excited as my other kills. So i dont have 37 buck kills, but i do consider my biggest buck a big one.

My dad even says kids should be allowed to kill small bucks or whatever they want but where we hunt, he wont let me. I dont get it.

Sure, ive let small bucks walk before, but i dont hunt to shoot monster bucks. I hunt to get away from everything and being able to be in the outdoors and get close to the game im hunting. Besides, venison is tasty! And there are so many small bucks killed, i figure i might as well kill one or the neighbor probably will! I hunt about 70 days of wisconsins deer season and have a heck of alot of fun.
I sold my compound this year and am going to be hunting with a recurve, no sights or nothing. Just instinctive shooting. So after countless hours of shooting with a style of shooting that i tought myself, not relying on a sight to show where my arrow will go,I think a young buck would be just as rewarding as any deer. I will need to kill a doe first since we have earn a buck this year. And for all you QDM guys, dont worry, if i have the opportunity, i will kill a big, i mean, mature, buck or a doe And im sure i will someday.
