Blackfish,
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that you like to chase horny deer? I guess if you hunt the rut, that's more accurate than one would think at first glance.

Shoot what makes you happy, thats what hunting is all about. Trust me, no one wants to shoot the biggest buck in the woods more than i do and i normally hold out for a decent deer in my area, but sometimes it just doesnt work that way. This past fall for example, i knew of a 140ish inch 8 point on the one property i hunt. Well long story short, i had him at 8 yards or so and i guess he heard me drawing back, and he bounded off to 20 yards broadside, but right behind a bush.[:@] He stood there for a minute and then slowly walked off like nothing ever happened. Well that was it, after a slower than expected season and then that, i told myself that the next decent buck to walk by was gunna get it. Well luckily for me, a nice 8 walked by and now his european mount is on my wall. I cherish looking at him just as much as i would the 140, even though i wasnt hunting for him.
