My wife took hunters safety course this spring and the booklet had a "type" of hunter classifications. I suppose I am just about out of the limiting out stage. The booklet suggested about 10 yrs experience under your belt prior to passing up almost any buck. I'm close I believe it was somewhere on this site, someone suggested "if you question rather or not it is a shooter, then it isn't". I hunt for the release and good eats, but I do live for the day to be able to admire one on the wall. I normally don't even have that many opportunities to pass up bucks, lol. I have shot 5 bow bucks to date, some I would let walk now, but I know they probably would have been had during shotgun season. I'm am stoked about a 130ish 11pt I missed about 2 weeks ago. I was ground hunting and miss judged the distance on him. Didn't spook him to bad though, he just trotted off into the field about 60yds away and pranced around. I'm sure he was only about 3 1/2yr old but there was no doubt that I would put my tag on him. Not many others that hunt that area that would pass him up either. Anywho just thought I would get opinions on trophy hunting. I've been trying to work on my doe tags for EM but past three evening outI haven't seen a thing. These are spots that I consistently see deer at too. Must be the weather. Sorry for the long post just not quite ready for bed but I know morning is going to come early, lol.
