Prplebkrr Nothing to be embarrassed about. I hunt heavily pressured public land only. Seeing a mature animal only happens a few times a year. Getting a shot happens even less. Not everyone has the opportunity at mature animals due to the area they hunt. It’s all about memories. I’ve spent an entire season chasing an old doe numerous times. Nothing harder to kill in the woods than one of those with a bow. Might not be a drool worthy “trophy” pic but it was way more fulfilling than killing a big buck with a gun to me.
Compared to most on here, this is a decent deer but nothing exceptional. Funny thing is, it was in the top 100 P&Y killed all time in my state. Shot him on public ground that’s HEAVILY pressured.
Great buck & great point, public land over the counter tags makes bagging trophies pretty darn tough. But we go out , hunt hard and earn our trophies when they come along... The reward is great memories and the satisfaction you did it your way.
