Hey Coot, Jeff and Mulie, thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. I want to make sure I was not in any way diminishing the efforts and or any bucks anyone else has killed. I know Greg hunts a lot like I do in that he waits for the kind of buck hes interested in to come by or he lets them walk and Coot it sounds like you and I are in the same boat this season with our bows. I also mean it when I say shoot what makes you happy. Take my spike bull elk for example, I couldnt have been happier because that animal fills the "Pottenger freezer". As for whitetail bucks, since I do have the fortune to kill elk for the freezer, I get to be really picky and I so enjoy the challenge of getting an old one down every year.

Coot good luck the rest of your season...how much time do you have left? I have till Christmas before I head to ND. I will say this I may not be as picky this late archery season as it dwindles.. and if I when I am hunting with my traditional bow, I would like to break it in, heck maybe even on a doe!
