I personally dont understand why you would drag names into this and put members, including myself on the spot. I was dam* proud of my buck this year. He may have been small, and maybe not my first and am 21 years old. I hunt public landand was pushed off mystand earlythat morning. Seeing deer all the time would be great but i dont. My father has only killed 2 bucks in 21 years of hunting and each only had 1 horn.

I never chime in on these things but since i was called out i figured i should. I shoot the small ones cause i can. I would shoot a big one if ihad the chance. My standard is not about size. Whitetails are hard to hunt... and getting one is an accomplishment. It makes me feel great to be lookeddown onfor something i am so proud of. But hey, i canlook down on those to dont get the excitement and pride out of every deer like i do.

Quick question aslo if you wont shoot little bucks, how do you feel when you shoot a doe. I know i getexcited, do you look at it as a chore?

There is also the problem of CWD where i shot mybuck so we shoot ifwe can.
