Default RE: Is everyone a trophy hunter??

I do not consider myself a Trophy hunter at all. I have noticed a few things and am trying a few things also. Like I have a nice eight already. Could be my ego, but I would like to have a real nice buck on the wall. At least one that is ten points and 150+ inches. Another reason I started passing up bucks last year besides size is taste. I can tell a real difference in buck meat compared to nice young, smalltender doe meat, so unless it is a nice buck, my meat is going to be young doe, if it is late in season any size will do if I have nothing, my stove does not complain. I also in the last couple of years have got my dad back into hunting and my nephew. Both times I passed up the nice little eights I was thinking of my dad and nephew getting a crack at it. Last year I passed up doe's on the first few weeks of season, hoping to see a nice buck and trying to keep my presence to minimum. Last year I ended up with no deer at all. So with all that said the first thing that walks by me with out a rack is taking a dirt nap, if it has milk on its breath sorry about its luck! Ohio is only allowed one buck, so I would like to hold out for a nice one since I really don't care to eat them.
