mondoman86 you need to rethink WHY you hunt. I wouldn't be bummed really at all - why? because I hunt for the hunt, not for the shooting of horn porn.

go read that ....... both my hunting partners whacked big bucks, I got a little down myself on the whole but not at the guys I was hunting with or anyone else hunting .... you have to enjoy hunting, and the outdoors, and loving the whole experience.

its become way too common place to hunt for horns and the love of horn porns poisons us all - you to the point of hating a guy who killed a very nice buck, it was NOT your buck, any more than it was his. Don't worry about how he killed it, thank God you're healthy enough to hunt, that you have a place to hunt, that tommorrow morning you can walk to your stand and sit in it for a few hours and enjoy God's given sunrise, and all that you might see even if its just a sparrow.

you've lost I think what hunting it []and because of that, you're worse than a guy shooting a deer off his back porch if he indeed did that
