RE: "Buck of a Lifetime"
If you want to get allgung hoabout it you probably should limit your hunting to public land. Hunting private property is an unfair advantage. Think about it, the ultra rich could just buy the best property in the country and leave it off limits to any other hunters and then go shoot one of the dozens of B&C deer that will be roaming the property with zero hunting pressure.
The buck of a lifetime is going to be different for every person out there.
Maybe it is a blue collar working saving up for 10 years to go on a guided hunt on public land in Canada. Maybe it is a young kid hunting their family farm and by chance a huge monster buck shows up out of nowhere. Maybe it is a unemployed single man who lives 10 minutes from the best public hunting land in the west who lives in the woods all summer and then on opening day harvest the best buck in the area. Maybe it's the white collar worker who saves and saves for years and then puts the down payment on his own piece of land and spends countless hours improving the land and managing the property and finally years down the road is rewarded with a trophy buck.
It's your lifetime, it's your buck. Only you know whether it was the buck of your lifetime.
That's my 2 cents.
