LOL! You'll find that their excuses are a dime a dozen! Truthfully, most hunters simply do NOT have the skill to outwit whitetails that are any older than the young, naive 1 1/2 old bucks. They also are the hunters who lack the patience and persistence to hunt harder than that as well.
My favorite excuses are: "If I don't shoot it than someone else will" or "I'm a meat hunter"!
You'd think most folks would actually want to set goals and raise the bar a bit.... I thought that was human nature???
BUT, ... what can we do? I just don't want any of them to whine and complain about not having any big bucks where they live.... I wonder why,, DUH!
