Its all about personal goals for me. If any one wants to kill whatever makes them happy then thats ok with me. always has been always will be. Ill be the first to shake his hand. Some bucks just dont do it for me any more, and if i dont tag out....so be it!! im fine with that. But thats just me
I feel pretty much the same way.

You are so right buddy....We can experience the dreams, enjoy the outdoors with ourselves, with friends and family....we can do it all by doing what we feel fits best in our hearts....The only difference between a monster buck and a doe is the calcium on its head and the hype of getting that big trophy..or maybe the mission you had with the monster........when a hunter can stop and realize hunting is about the respect of the harvest, and the feeling of watching a red squirrel climb a tree, a chickadee on the tip of your arrow...or whatever....A true outdoorsmen holds the passion inside of the "entire experience" Some of my most cherished memories were a double lunged doe on a frosty morning...loaded in the truck and back home to warm up the smoker and have a cold beer with my wife and kids on a Saturday....
Great post buddy....Come on guys....open up the horizons and savor the moments and the experience...not just the thrill of hauling a 22 inch 10 pointer around town in the pickup...
Put down the rage broadheadsand all the parafinallllya...and stick one with a flint head on a cedar shaft....expand your horizons and do it all....we only have 1 chance in life to try our experiences....go for it...if you thought about doing it....do it...
Very good stuff here also Brian!
