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

I go about what I do quietly,I don't impose my views on others but I do have opinions.If a young person or a new hunter or even a seasoned veteran is excited and thrilled with their kill than I am thrilled with them and for them! If as Ryan has said they kill any buck just to kill a buck because they perceive it as a reflection of their manliness than I don't agree with that.This is just my opinion.
For some of you that live in area's of the country where you "at least have the chance to see a 41/2 year old deer" it is a different set of circumstances.
Where I live you will go your lifetime as a very dedicated hunter and very likely never see a 120 inch deer (I only use this to give people perspective)Yes I want to see bigger deer,I want to be challenged by the opportunity to pursue them.
You can't kill what isn't there.I am not arguing with anyone,or disagreeing with any one specifically I am just expressing my opinion.
