I do hunt for the adrenaline rush, its just that a big deer gets my heart pumpin a heck of a lot harder than a little four pointer. I am pretty selective and i'm not about to shoot the first thing i see. The season if pretty long so why not go after a big deer if you have the chance. Its more of a challenge and you feel more rewarded. If i don't get a deer its no big deal to me but i am not about to shoot a little guy just to say i got something. just my opinion
