Unless you live in one of the "states" you have less of a chance at shooting a record book buck. I hunt and always have hunted for the passion of the woods, deer, and time with family. I grew up a "meat" hunter and still am to some extent. I have shot three nice bucks that have scored over 125 with a bow, but that was because I saw them first. A three pointer or a nice fat doe is considered by me to still be a trophy.
