I totally concur with most of the posts above. I would probably be classified as a trophy hunter today, but I certainly cut my teeth on my fair share of smaller bucks. It helps to overcome the jitters later when the big boy does walk by, and to enjoy the sport as you're developing into a mature bowhunter -- and I'm not saying that all "mature" bowhunters only go after big racks. Maybe more "seasoned" would be a more appropriate adjective.
