Its always like that after the hunt is over. Thats just the way most hunters are, its our testosterone. I don't believe anyone is not proud of getting a deer. Your in that animals backyard and to take one, escpecially with a bow your doing something. I believe its more like the schoolyard mentality, someone else gets a bigger better one so the one you get doesn't seem as good. Doesn't bother me, some years I won't even shoot at a deer. Its more about getting out to nature to me. I don't get into who's bigger and better junk. If I decide to take one, you can sure as hell bet im proud of it. Heck, alot of people don't even know what there doing and never even see any all season! Thats my two cents anyways for what its worth. So don't be too hard on the people that don't seem like there proud, because im sure they are.
