RE: Your chance to vote on my ineptness
I did not take offense to your initial post my friend. My concern was that you as a young man was putting to much pressure on yourself to tag a buck. By comparing my 34 years as a bow hunter and still not putting a buck down so far this year, I was attempting to show you that if standards are made by a hunter then sometimes you may not tag.
Yes we all want to be successful. There are some who define success as a large Buck harvested. There is nothing wrong with that mind set. There is also nothing wrong with setting a standard and not possibly meeting that goal. Every sit brings you more and more experience.
Some will tell you this is BS. Everyone has an opinion and I respect each of them. You need to decide what your goals are and if it is acceptable to not meet those goals. Do not let pressure from others define what kind of hunter you will be.
