Default RE: Penny for my thoughts?? Heres a dollars worth!

I just had this conversation with myself last week. I set out Saturday with one tag left in my pocket and a plan to use it only on a nice rack. Well Iwas in my tree and ready at 6:40.At 9:15 I see a deer come through a field about 130 yards in front of me. I see that it's a young buck. Well he starts to leave the point that I'm on so I grab my can call turn it over a few times. He hears it and comes inon a string. At 28 yards I stopped him and heart shot him. Afterward I set there and thought that wasn't the buck that I had set out to kill but I was extremely happy. I came to the conclussion setting there that I'm not cut out to trophy hunt. I have gotten to where I can let little bucks and does walk but I've always been just a bowhunter not a tropphy bowhunter and Lord willing I'll stay that way.
