RE: Why is killing a buck so important?
I bowhunt for the enjoyment. When i'm sitting in the stand and a Deer comes by, buck or doe, at that moment i will decide if its the deer i want to harvest at that particular moment. My mood changes day to day. I will (god willing) take a few does this year, and a buck....but the size of the buck won't be determined until that one morning or evening sit when presented with an opportunity and i decide to take it or not. If its sizeable..great.. if not, and i decide to harvest it, i consider myself successful either way.
