Annual Be Proud of What You Shoot
As always I encourage everyone to proud of whatever animal they are fortunate enough to harvest this season. A doe, a four point, a six point are all trophies. Good luck to all you this season and be proud of what you shoot.

RE: Annual Be Proud of What You Shoot
For you newer guys, what PABowhntr is saying is... Be proud of what you shoot. Don't feel the need to come online and say "well, it's only a 4 point but..." Or "It's only a doe but....".
You have done something in the sporting world, that only a relatively small portion of people can claim. You have taken an animals life with, stick and string. You have successfully beaten it's defenses and gotten close enough to make a lethal shot. You probably had to do some sort of tracking, to locate the animal. These things are all constants. These things will be done the same, whether it's Pope and Young, spike ordoe. Be proud of that.
Do not let participation on this board, or the contest, have any bearing on what you shoot. Hunting is a personal thing, it is between You and Nature. If you are happy with your success 95% of us will be just as happy for you..the other 5% you are not gonna please.
So sign it loud..HERE's My Broken Tined, 3 legged,4 point... that I shot at 15 Yards !! Be proud..you're no longer an archer..Your a successful BOWHUNTER!

Extremely well said. Bottom line is a doe will feed my family just as well as an 8 or 10 pointer. This place makes me wish our opening day was already here. Come on October 1st. Happy hunting to all. Hope you have a very productive season, and remember, while your out there, take time to enjoy what the good lord above has given us.
