No I cant say that I care what other people say or think of my mounts or my various racks. I didnt say that I did any where in my above post, so I really dont know where you got that idea.
So why do you think anyone else would??
Dosent it seem like the exact opposite is true? Dosent it seem like the guys who kill yearling bucks year after year are the guys who like to brag by saying they got their buck??
Not at all.
Who is really more interested in the horns; the hunter who shoots the first deer they see because hes a buck, or the hunter who passes up dozens of yearling and immature bucks each year allowing them to grow and reach maturity? Seems to me that one is looking for quick gratification and the other has alot of self control, respect, and discipline and will be rewarded for it later on down the road.
I'd vote for the guy who shoots the first thing he sees...........he is not worried if a bigger buck is out there or may come by next week......he may not care that it is a buck at all and is just happy he got a shot at a deer period. Someone who passes on buck after buck is obviously looking for something bigger or better to come by and therefore puts much more value on the rack.
You even said it yourself........"he will be
rewarded for it later down the road" If you view a bigger rack as a "reward" then it's pretty obvious who puts more stock in the headgear.
The "if its brown, its down mentality" is really sad [:'(]
Saying a deer isn't "worth" shooting is really sad. [:'(]
