silent & wimp...good points. The buck I shot and did not recover last year was one of those instantaneous " holy cow, he' s a shooter" bucks. I even literally quietly whispered that to myself as I brought my release to my d-loop. Then there were those 20+ marginal bucks that I had to really check out and make sure that I wasn' t missing something. Like I said before, I like when they are monsters or little dinks...it limits my stress
