It clearly depends on how 'success' is defined. Dollars can buy inches of antler, but for me it, by itself,can never improve the *quality* of the experiance. So...to me the answer is a resounding NO. Even though it rilessome as I knew it would, I agree with Greg's outfitter comment. I still respect the person that did it, but the harvest...not quite so much. Part of this debate stems from the real issue I think, the aparent need of some people to justifyyour harvest in the eyes of others, before it can be justified to yourself. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
