If you are forced to hunt in an area devoid of trophy bucks, you could strive to kill bucks that are the best in your area. These would be considered trophy bucks in my mind. Just one way of looking at it
Exactly, I will confess to, in the past, holding out for a buck of porportions that were unrealistic for the area I was in. The couple of good bucks I past up that season still make me shake my head. I can still see thebig 8 point that walked directly below me and I never reached for the bow.
Shooting baskets ain't my problem but sometimes pulling the trigger on a good on is. The trials and tribulations of a one tag State.
