i refuse to shoot anything smaller than this, while everyone else on the property and surrounding areas live and die by the "if its brown its down" philosophy.
i have personal goals and i would rather shoot nothing than shoot a little one. i get beat up on since i havent shot anything but does since i shot this buck. .................
You don't make sense.
First you say "
i refuse to shoot anything smaller than this..."
Then you say, "
i have personal goals and would rather shoot nothing than shoot a little one."
And THEN you say, "
I haven't shot anything but does since i shot this buck."
Are you talking body size or antlers?
Personally I wouldn't waste a bit of time in some sort of competition with my buddies or anyone else (self) as to who can shoot what.
Matt, I am not sure how this isn't clear? He won't shoot anything but does and bucks from that pic and bigger.
KoBear, like BigJ said, hunting is a personal thing. You hunt the way you want to hunt. I love to eat venison. My family and I will eat 4 adult deer in about 6 months. I get picky during bow season, so depending on how many are in the freezer from just after the start of the season to just before the end, will determine what I take and what I don't..... It's all personal.
Hunting is a personal thing ..... that is why you see the butter flying off the popcorn when these topics come up ..... do what you want .... within the law of course.
