Everyone has become a trophy hunter. Those old Bill Jordan shows were classic hunting then it got crazy with the hunting industry. There used to be a select few who hunted and did it for pure enjoyment. I remember back in the mid 90s listening to the cowboys and packers on a Walkman radio while waiting for a deer. Now it's cornpiles and cash. Whoever has the most ground, which no you prolly have to own it, and the fattest checkbook normally get the biggest buck. It's what it has come to. Hard way, easy way, any way, what ever gets you in the deer woods I guess. But the boasting of inches I'm sure everyone is guilty of, including me. But that meat taste better with an open sighted rifle or a recurve without the aid of wheels on a bow or a corn pile. Just my opinion.
