I did put myself on a buck, that 6pt was real nice for this part of the state, and would have made for a great season for some people.
I must not be able to put these thoughts of mine into words.....
I didn't say you were not able to put yourself on a buck. If you decided to not take the shotbecause that buck did not live up to your self imposed standards that is great and basically the only way to consistently take animals that do fit your standards (by passing ones that don't). But once the season ended your tag went unfilled because you didn't put yourself in position to make it happen and take an animal of your liking.
This post has nothing todo with what ones personal standard are it could be 50 inches or 300 inches. It's all about yes I did what it took to take a buck of my "personal standards" or no I failed at filling my tag because I never put myself in position to take an animalworthy of my "personal standards".
What I am trying to say is if youdidn't shoot an animal above your "personal standards" it is because you didn't put yourself in a position to succeed.
This is not a bad thing, it is actually a positive asit is taking responsibility rather than putting the blame on an idle variable (the deer that never showed up).
So...you mean we need to be accountable for ourselves and quit being cry babies w/ nothing but excuses???
