He clarified that later .... the discussionmoved tothe metality of getting one under the belt ..... We all would love to shoot the next world record ......
I read it all and I followed where it went I just view it a little differently. I killed a small buck last year one of my first sits out. I didn't set out to shoot him, I actually passed him once earlier in the day. I wanted to shoot a doe, that never happened and he came back by later and at that point I wanted to kill a deer to start my season, an ice breaker so to speak, so I did just that. I shoot what I feel like at the time,unlike some I don't really restrict myself with too many pre setrules of what Iwill or won't take.
That being said Ihave passed on a lotmore deer than usual the past 3 seasons simply because I didn't want to shoot one that day or I had already killed earlier in the week and still had work to do to finish processing, yeah I was out hunting but I had no real intention of killing unless it had been something extraordinary so it goes both ways(in the past I would kill them all and just give the meat I couldn't deal withaway, I don't really feel the needto do thatanymore).jmho
