I dont mind being picky, up untill the rut that is. It seems that the bigger bucks can be harder to get during the rut as they are constantly cruising and not paying much attention to anything but that doe they are following. From mid Sept-late Oct I tend to be very picky about the bucks and or doesI shoot. But once the rut starts, Im not as picky. I enjoy watching bucks chase does, thats the excitement for me. I will take any good 1 1/2 year old buck that gives me a clean shot and hold my head up proud when I do. Ive said it before and Ill say it again. It seems too often that most of us here and across the world are getting too caught up in the big buck phenomenon. Is that what hunting is really about?? Because if it is, I quit. Sure its great to get a big wall mounter, the feeling is great, Ive taken 2 wall mounters of which I only mounted 1 back in 2002. The other one is a rack display. the one I shot last year. These in some eyes are in no case considered a "wall mount buck", but to me they were both worthy of putting on the wall. Any deer is. I go out for the encounters, and to be closer to God and enjoy everything he has blessed me with that surrounds me. Thas what hunting is all about.
