Nope not at all for me.......I could wind up with anything from the first decent legal buck to walk in front of my longbow in PA to God knows what could walk by in Illinois.
Or the other way around.

I hunt the same way in both states but in spite of what happened last season I realize the odds are in more in my favor to kill a big buck in IL ,so I could be one of those guys who tags a 75" buck for the contest here only to shoot a much bigger one later on that I can't use for a contest score.
Don't matter to me as long as I'm with good friends and having fun.
