This is my 4th year of passing every single buck I've seen. I shoot does for meat and for management but I just know that 130 class or bigger buck is about to walk out all the time!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I understand what you are saying Bow. It is easy to take the trophy syndrome too far and I probably have. I just know that there are some monsters down there in my thick nasty woods and I'm going to wait it out, if it takes another 4 years. I'm more than willing to kill a cull buck but we only get one buck tag so I always wait until it's too late.
One day when I kill that big boy, it will all have been worth it. I guess that will be the only cure for my "trophy buck syndrome".<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
