I think hunters are born optomists.lol.For me it's been a matter of not wanting to end my hunting season too soon.Always thinking there's lots of time left lol.My buddy goaded me into shooting a 2 point this year and it's a good thing I did because he ended up being the last legal deer I saw last year.

I'm more of a meat hunter anyways but I'm still always thinking what if a big one steps out after I pull the trigger.
