A lot of hunters are too "ate up" with big racks. Some of the poachers in our area were found to have their own big buck contest going with a very large cash prize. I've seen many a large buck brought into the checking station early the first morning with their eyes glazed over and half dry and sucked in. That doesn't happen in 2 hours. That kind of stuff is why a lot of people are skeptical. I've been on the receiving end of the jealousy though. I've taken quite a few large animals, all legal, and I hear comments here or there. I took a 150 class 8 point on the last evening in 2000. Left it in the truck overnight and we had a heavy frost. The eyes were still glassy the next morning due to the frost on them melting. When I took it in to the checking station the next morning a "pro shop expert" asked me if I took it that morning. First off a 150 class 8 in my area is huge. Second he had to say "I've seen better." Every one knows a "pro shop expert" , the guy who knows everything but has never taken a large buck. If I was hung up on horns I could shoot them every night at my house. I have a Biologic patch 50 yards from the house and there are always large bucks on it. I could simply turn on the light and shoot as they never run. I could not bring myself to do this no matter how large the buck is. Just my .02 cents.
