I can't agree more. You go out into the wild, where our quarry lives. A place where evolution has created creatures that have learned to survive. Lets face it, in nature stupid animals don't usually live long enough to pollute the gene pool. The smart ones that live are the ones who procreate and pass their genes to following generations. They might not have the best eyesight, but it's not bad either. They just can't distinguish certain colors like blaze orange. Deer have ears which are shaped like parabolic radar dishes, and they don't suffer hearing loss from listening to loud rock music or shooting guns. Since they live in the woods a deer knows what everything sounds like that belongs in the woods. Then there's that sense of smell; if deer were trainable, prison wardens would use them to track escaped prisoners or maybe we could teach them to point pheasant and quail.
A really nice rack is a great bonus, every deer is a trophy.

FUN FIRST........Too many outdoorsmen loose sight of what we all love about the outdoors. Call it peer pressure or whatever.........
Whatever you do in the great outdoors, HAVE FUN DOING IT! Forget the pressure to perform......HAVE FUN!

I agree!The first deer I took with a bow was a doe and I was as proud of that doe as I would be if that deer was a 12 point.
What I loved about it was it was a very humane kill.The deer turned and walked about 5 yards then stopped and fell over dead.
Some area's just do not produce big racked bucks as well as others.They need calcium in there diet.
My grandfather said the only thing antlers are good for is stirring the soup.
I would like to add that I learned about 85% of what I know about bowhunting right here on this web site.I asked alot of questions and they were all answered.Your a great group of people.Thanks
