I have a very hard time reading posts from guys that say they would hold out for bigger... For some hunters that don't have multiple properties, surrounding properties, or just the perfect property that have a great restriction on deer management. For example, my parents own 104 acres and we try to manage it the best we can. The Amish live close and have no such thing as restrictions on what or when they kill. Is now that my fault I dont shoot a 2.5+ year old in hopes he makes it... I would love to see these deer and shoot the first one that came by. Now, maybe I am taking it a little too personal. My first deer I ever got another hunter told me I shouldn't even be proud of the buck because it was a little 6 point. He didn't even know my name and thats what he says to me? I have a really sour taste in my mouth over that and I apologize if I am acting like him now. Those may not be trophies to some but to me they are wall hangers. Good luck!
