You know....I gotta say.

After reading what some have said on probably more than 5-10 websites about the shooter and his buck, I can honestly see why some guys would say that they would never tell a soul about a buck like this if they shot one. Some of the comments and what not really astound me(not specifically here, but in general). I've never had a buddy shoot a buck of this caliber before, so I guess that I never had any personal attachment to the "big buck" threads in the past.

Sure puts a different spin on things when you know the shooter, know deep down he's a good man and know everything is 100% legit and on the up and up. So much of hunting today is wrapped around stats. What did the buck score, what's the spread, what's the G3 length, etc... Seems like with some, that's all that matters. I guess that's hunting today. Like it or not.
