Hunt the way you enjoy it and get satisfaction from it. I once had permission to hunt several hundred private acres, no fences. I could hold out for a better buck, and killed some good ones. The land sold, I now hunt public land, and have lowered my standards accordingly. I get just as tickled walking up to a basket-racked 6 pt. (or a doe) as I did any of those private land bucks. When I quit enjoying it, I will hang my bow up. I don't make enough money to hang with the hunters on T.V., and I'm OK with that.
