You know that you, like others here, see photos of "Big" bucks and the wonderful moments of hunting. I am placing this thread, for you and others, as a reminder that everyone should be graced with love and ability. Sometimes, life happens, you just aren't allowed the opportunity to see that "big" buck. I pray that you don't look for your cameras in the woods to give you understanding. Search for your own value and it will be given unto you. I grew up when you were allowed 7 bucks a year. I hope that you find time to remember that these beautiful things are not limited by your own life.

Thanks! Back in the day the limits were:
Archery: 4 either sex
Muzzleloader: 3 bucks
Rifle : 4 bucks
Potentially 11 bucks per season

Good post. We all experience ebbs and flows in hunting. Some years are feast while others are famine. Just the way it goes.

Yes sir, and this year it is famine for me! I have seen a ton of bucks but only one mature buck on camera and he is a 6 point. I have passed him twice, a decision I probably won't make again if I see him again.
 
My whole point to this thread was.....I grew up being an avid deer hunter.....I killed deer every year.....my father, uncle and landowners that gave me permission to hunt on their property didn't kill but one hands fingers count. I never thought that I would quit being in the woods and enjoying the morning sun....excitement and hope. I had children and they made cameras...things changed and I don't like it. I love the excitement of going to bed and every hunt was Christmas. We have placed value on look at that big buck and I need to kill one like that......we have allowed them to take something as pure as sitting in the stand and watching the sunrise to I need to get a big one. I am almost 50 and the most cherished mount in my home was a Christmas gift to me at 9.....my uncle killed an 8 point that today....you would watch rot on the highway. I am thankful that some us truly remember that excitement. I hope that we can remind others.....or SeekOne is the least of the problems.

Ftr...I wouldn't change my children in my life but how they are raised by this community.
 
While I don't necessarily disagree with you. But I think if you ask the vast majority of true "trophy hunters" I hate that term. They don't miss all those little things at all. And in all actuality us I am one get to experience it more then the normal hunter as we generally put in a ton of time to get that bigger deer. I know I don't take a single second for granted neither do the vast majority of hunters I know.

I think the discussion should be why are people being influenced in doing something they don't enjoy? Part of being an adult is making your own decisions and living your own life. If grown men are being influenced that way well honestly screw them man up and do what makes you happy. At the end of the day it's a soft society and me personally I'm tired of coddling them.

I understand what your trying to say and it's Probably the 10th or so post I've seen through social media I've seen about this. I don't think it's the issue people are making it out to be at all.
