Default RE: Is the obsession to shoot big bucks corrupting bowhunting?

There is nothing wrong with the so called trophey hunter. I go out every year after a trophy. I didn't always do this, especially when I was younger. I've just realized good deer hunting management. I get two tags a year. A doe tag and a tag for anything. I shoot my doe right away and go after the big boy the rest of the year. Then the last two weekes I will shoot a doe again ifI don't get a trophy. What could possibly be wrong with that. I am puting food on the table. By passing little bucks up all year I am giving them a chance to grow size. I am also spending qaulity time in the stand learning every time I am out,as well asenjoying nature to the fullest.

How could someone possibly tell me that that is the wrong way to hunt. Im not hurting anyone. I don't care if some guy comes out to the area I hunt and shoots a 6 point, "good for him". I just know what Imdoingis helping me better my chance aswell as others chances to see morebucks and bigger ones.Oh....and just because Ihunt this way doesn'tmean somekid hangs his headbecuase he shot a 6pointer. We all hunted asyoung menand you take whatever you can get. Although, at some point you mature into a different hunter and the challengechanges.In my opinion.
