A successful hunter is not one who feels he has overtaken someone by tagging a larger deer, a successful hunter is one who takes a deer and feels pride in what he has taken. If people want to think that just because they can shoot 120"+ deer several times a season makes them a better, more successful hunter, then they can go hunt by themselves. "This year, I only shot two hundred-fifty class deer. I was dissapointed. What did you get?
"A doe. And I'm proud of it."

Rack size does NOT equal a successful hunter. If you have the opportunity to take one of these monsters, GREAT! But don't let it go to your head.
Lastly, an ethical hunter is, above all, the most successful hunter of all. I would rather not shoot at an animal that is in a position that I may cause injury or suffering to it, or potentially hurt another hunter in the woods. Creed of the hunter: "Ethics before Antlers"
