My ideas of a shooter have changed drastically over the years. When I was younger it just had to have bone on it's head, then I moved up to 4 points or better, then it was 150 or better. Recently my target has been 190+. But....Hunting means way more to me than just antlers. My family thrives on wild meat. It definately helps out on my single income family budget. I still whack little bucks every year to help supply that awesome wild organic meat for the freezer. And when you are bringing your kids up in the hunting tradition, seeing their excitement is way better than whacking a 200 incher any day. My dad shot a nice nontypical yearling last year. It was a 7x5 with a cool dropper. Most guys on here would think that is a terrible thing, as that buck would have been an absolute TOAD in a few years. But, my dad has a major heart condition, and we had my son with us, and I told dad 'Hammer Him!'. My dad hadn't killed a buck for a few years and that was the second buck in 2 days my son got to see drop. That right there is what it's all about. Guys on here sometimes loose sight of that. It ain't about tine, it's about the hunt.
