I doubt I will ever see even a 140 class whitetail where I hunt.

Im a dreamer so imma keep dreamin' on

uhhhhhhhhlet me think YES

atleast i hope to

just because you dont see them, doesnt mean they are not there!!!

Expect to see one anyway. They are around where I hunt and the 146 I've already shot was a monster to me. I'll try to do my part by shooting does and trying to let the small bucks walk.
I'm not exactly a trophy hunter, I'm a deer hunter. I'll take a monster if it walks by though.

I dont think you can plan to shoot a 190+ unless you hunt a high fenced area or manage a huge chunk of prime property. For most people that hunt in good areas you just never know when a big one is going to walk by, I'm happy shooting a 140+ which has still not happened, would I like to shoot a monster? Yes, who doesnt, but I dont plan on it, it might happen and it might not.

I like many who are regulars have good locations where the monsters certainly roam and often frequent I have been privileged to harvest several 140-180" bucks and I know that there is a 190+ in the area, a guy took a 200 something 4 drop tine buck within a 10 mile radius so I know the genetics are there I fully anticipate to take a monster, it keeps me on my toe's. I think everyone should go out with the mentality of shooting a monster which will make them a better hunter in general. That being said what may be a monster to one may not to another, I remember the day a nice 8 running in the 80's and 90's seemed huge and a dream to me. To some a monster spike may satisfy and deservingly it should, it should be the monster experience we all hope for, the bone is just icing on the cake

Man every time I go out hunting I plan to kill a Monster buck.

Got a nice one this year The the monster your talking about but a good one.

I hope I get bigger in the future. But If I don't I'm still enjoying every hunt.

I'd like to think so, one of these days. But I feel taking a 190+ class deer isn't going to happen for most of us. We all know it happens but I think the chances are slim and none. I buy two permits a year, I'll get a third this year for muzzleloader. My first shot is to put meat in the freezer. Then I wait them out. If a good one doesn't come along no problem. I'll put more meat in the freezer. I can atleast hope....
