As an expirienced hunter of of some 26 or so years and taking well over 25 bucks, I have a question for other seasoned veterans. Have you ever expirienced a time when the hunt is more of a thrill than the shot. I mean I love the time in the woods, I still can watch and be entertained as the squirrels and chipmunks fill my time as I wait fo the next doe or buck to wander through and get my heart pounding. But recently I had a nice little 8 point come right in as one would hope. While I got excited and my heart was racing, I still pondered whether or not I wanted to shoot. Bascically I let him pass without even drawing on him. Now I am questioning why? Is it the fact that I have taken much larger bucks and set a personal best last year with a true trophy that hangs on my wall? I' m sure if it was a trophy I would have shot right? hmmm? I look forward to each and every hunt and get out as often as possible. I am at that point where every hunt is succesful to me. Crap please don' t tell me I' m maturing..YIKES. I still walk by my mounted deer from last season with amazement..Maybe it all changed when I actually tagged a buck that rivals most other trophies one sees on TV or at shows or whatever. Maybe I am destined to be a trophy hunter from this point on..but what do I do with this doe tag?? Comments..?
