Lets try to keep it down in here a little bit. We're all hunters and we need to respect the way other people hunt, even if it isn't the way we hunt. As long as it's legal and ethical, we should be supporting it, not tearing it down because we don't necessarily believe in it.
As for the original question - I think Lefty just hit it on the head. I've entered Big Buck contests before hoping that maybe I'll get lucky and win, but at the same time I wasn't holding out for a monster buck. It's kind of like looking for a wife. Sure, we'd all love to marry a supermodel with a big bankroll, but in reality we'll take the first one that we find who won't leave us during the hunting season.
