Wolfen, I want to tell you that I have read alot of your posts and I disagree with you alot of the time. <u>However,</u> I think you are 100% correct this time. I'm not putting down guys who are tickled to death with a 4pt or 6pt. I'm putting down the guys who shoot a 6pt so he can say he killed a buck. He will cut the rack off the buck and it will end up in a box in his garage or storage room. If he was really proud of it, he'd have a shoulder mount if he could afford it. If not he'd at least have it mounted on a board and proudly display if for all to see.

I know that alot of guys say that horns don't mean one thing to them but I honestly don't believe a word of it. It might be true of some guys but a small minority. That being said, everyone wants to kill a monster and only a few are willing to sacrifice and let them grow. I'm not trying to belittle anyone for shooting small bucks, it is a free world. I just see a little bit of hipocracy(sp) in this debate.

Here is where the difference lies and I'm willing to admit it. Some people are competitive and want to achieve the most possible. Those attributes normally follow a person into their chosen sport or hobby. On the other hand some people just enjoy the sport because it is relaxing and don't ever set any goals. Only the guys who are sold out and willing to make huge sacrifices, go to the pros in football or baseball. They are willing to do anything neccessary to play in the Super Bowl. On the other hand alot of guys are happy playing football in the backyard or watching it on the couch. It takes all kinds and hunting is no different. To each his own.

Just my opinion.
