I'm not going to compromise my standards to shoot "A" mature buck.
I never suggested you do this...... I am not sure where you are coming from here....
As I said the whole purpose of this thread was to see if any other guys / gals here also felt that people place the blame of not filling their tag on an animal to their standards elsewhere rather than on themselves.
Like I said in 2005 I didn't fill my tag... I had many opportunities at decent bucks in 05and I know full well there were good mature bucks in the area (from stand sightings and even a couple I videoed out of my stand) I just did not get it done. I was almost in the right setup to capitalize a few different times but never closed the deal. Whose fault was it, the whitetail's that didn't cooperate or mine????
100% my fault.
I will tell you even thought I failed at filling my tag I have some of my fondest memories and best lessons learned from that 2005 bowseason. I failed at filling my tag but my season was a huge success.
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?
I'm not sure what you are getting at with the beginning of this quote. As for the second question......
A lot of your posts are very arrogant and cockyand for some unknown reason I let some of them get under my skin. Although, I do not try to make you "look the fool".
