As usual, I will stray from the herd. I DONT think you have to choose between amonster buck, or nothing! Balance. MY OPINION, but I will never understand why anyone (other than a young hunter) would shoot a 4-point whitetail when he couldbe patient and see a 10-point.

"Quality hunt"? You still saw the 4-point and a few does, but tomorrow you might see that 10-point you saw during your pre-seasonscouting. Remember? The almost-shooter you passed on last year??? He is now a 10-point and makes your heart beat a little faster than than 1.5 yearold 4-point.

Quality hunt? Beautiful sunrise, cold crisp morning, squirrells running around. "Snap"- twig breaking behind you. What do you REALLY want to see as youslowly turn around??? That is the answer to your question.
