I can honestly say that it doesn't bother me a bit. I will rejoice with a "rookie" over a spike or a new state record just the same.

In trying to relate here... Deer hunting hasgone okay for me, but turkeyhunting isanother story. I blew a chance in my first year of taking a really nice gobbler and then didn't get another chance at anything until 5 years later! I was inagony at times and Iwouldn't wish that on anyone! Sure I ended up doing a lot more "homework" andit was sweet when it finally happened, but I don't feel I would have been robbed OR (more yet)would have been robbing anyone else of any "experience" if I had been successful in dropping the hammer on the first longbeard.

I just don't see where it matters... But, that's my $.02.
