No I don't think it would change a thing for me.I love to hunt and just because the next buck that comes along is not as big does not mean squat!! Shooting a word record buck is just lucky to begin with and the way i see it is every buck is a trophy no matter the size.Why would shooting a record buck change your life financially? would you even consider selling the trophy anyway???And as far as going to shows to show people your deer,who is going to pay for that?Iknow i can't afford it.just my two cents
