Ryan as pretty much always makes a good point.When I hunt I am hunting for either doe's or bucks that are better than average bucks for the area's I am hunting in.I have shot my share of small bucks and the process of getting to the mind set I have now has been an evolution.My father was a "never shoot a doe hunter" who was convinced you were destroying your hunting future by doing so.It wasn't until I got in to archery some 15 years ago that my passion for hunting really exploded,much more time in the woods,reading every book or magazine I could get my hands on,total immersion.As a result for me personally I wanted to elevate the challenge and the commeasurate reward.Doe's or better than average bucks.I am not ego driven,I do it for my own satisfaction not to prove any thing to anybody.I do not like it when I eat a buck tag,I hold myself accountable for not scouting more or hunting harder,but I still have immense enjoyment in the process!
