One thing thing that really draws me to this site is the fact that I read zero posts about antler inches, age, buck named this or that, hit list bucks, yada yada yada... I have grown tired of all that crap. It's fine if that's what makes you tick, but there is sooo much more to bow hunting than those things. I have been down that road before and what it ends up doing is taking the innocence and purity out of the hunt. Kill a spike! kill a doe! kill a monster! it all means something to those who hunt in different ways. I spent the better part of 8 years chasing pope and young class deer. It almost drove me out of bowhunting. When i finally did kill that class buck, after many years, it changed the way I hunt and why I hunt. I no longer let that control me and I wish more of the younger generation would quit watching TV hunting because it sets unrealistic expectations. It gives false hopes to many. In the end, a man who puts in the effort and learns how to do it the hard way will be much rewarded for it. Think of the great poet Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken, it is a story of life. You get out of it what you put in it.
