So what, Dude? So what if someone wants to hold out for a two antlered deer and let the other one go. It's their choice. The trophy is in the eye of the beholder, not you or me.
their choice, sure, and my choice to shoot a nubbin buck but me doing THAT bothers a LOT of horn porn loving hunters doesn't it ?
I don't know any "horn porn loving hunters", the mature buck hunters that I know seem to enjoy all aspects of deer hunting. The fact is, the ones I know only care about what they shoot. They are also quick to congratulate any hunter that gets a deer no matter what it is, as long as it makes them happy.
do you hunt with a recurve ?
I have (successfully), and will again some day. It will not change my standards. I have enough faith in my hunting abilities that I think I can still get close enough to the deer I'm after no matter what weapon I'm using.
