RE: Is the obsession to shoot big bucks corrupting bowhunting?
I get disappointed if I hunt with someone and they shoot any buck under huge unless it's a specific area where deer just need to be killed. If I'm hunting from Sept through Dec then it's in a good area where big deer are common. I always encourage anyone to shoot huge. It's what the dream is all about. If I can share in their excitement, all the better. If it's at the end of the season, then it doesn't matter that much to me.
