RE: How many guys....
Scott....
There's so many things wrong with this....I don't know where to begin. If I want to shoot "A" mature buck, this year....I'll do it.
If I don't shoot "THE" mature buck.....it'll be because he isn't there....or he doesn't offer me the shot opportunity.
I'm not going to compromise my standards to shoot "A" mature buck. This is exactly what I was talking about. I could shoot a 3.5yr old deer this year, I would think. But if THE mature buck I'm after (and I've let it be known the one Im after) isn't taken by me....well....you know.
And if you'll reread...you'll see what everyone else does. You've got a burr up your ass where I'm concerned....and you'll pick any nit to try and make me look the fool.
Why?
