You only have to make one person happy. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I've passed deer 4 or 5 tims only to decide some day..."You're going to die today". And you say it's all about the horns. For me it's not... it really isn't. Oh I pass up a lot of small buck because I want to see what shows up later or tomorrow or next week. I don't measure horns or mount deer anymore. I just hunt for me. It's suppose to be fun. If it's not, you're doing something wrong. Not wrong by my rules but wrong by your own. If someone says he isn't shooting anything less than Pope and Young he can't really complain about a bust season. He set his goals and didin't achieve them. It's not the hunting God's that did him in.. it was his own standards. Aim to succeed no matter the path you choose.
