I have to agree with you 100% on this topic, great post! I can remember when Id shoot pretty much anything as long as it wasnt a fawn oryearling and if it was a doe that had a fawn with her. My first archery buck was a big spike buck. My first ever archery deer was an old dry doe. My biggest archery buck was the one I shot in 06. But other than that I will shoot pretty much anything that gives me a good clean kill shot. Its great to see the big boys running around and hoping to get that chance, but it doesnt always happen. It seems too many of us here are caught up in the big buck phenomena and it has corrupted many of us. Dont get me wrong, Ill take the first 130 class buck that comes along in a heartbeat and you can bet hell be on the wall. But is that what hunting has become. I beleive corporate america has alot to do with it. These big archery companies, gun companies, hunting shows, and accessorie companies tend to lead us in the wrong direction by making many of us beleive that if you use their product you will only harvest big deer or you should only harvest big deer. I dont buy into that crap on damned minute. What works in one part of the country will not work the same in another part. I say take what is offered because it may be the only thing offered, and then give thanks.
