In my opinion the machismo of ONLY shooting huge bucks has probably done more to keep young people from embracing hunting than the Democrat philosophy.
While I generally agree with that, you may be painting with a pretty broad brush there.
Some don't do it for the machismo. There's plenty of folks that get to the point in their hunting careers where it's about the challenge. And a mature deer is like a totally different breed of deer.
We should all do whatever makes our own socks go up and down. (unless you're from MN and target button bucks..
)
