    Not speaking for others but I've never shoved that down anyones throat. Just as I pass on deer others would shoot, others pass on deer I would shoot. I've made mistakes along the way, shot some, passed on some.. Game time decision ?

    I don't think I know anyone who started out as a mature deer hunter and many people never become one which is fine.

    I shot my share of young immature bucks in my earlier days but eventially got my fill of that.

    In 1997, I passed on a unicorn, and I rue the day I did it. I haven't have a shot opportunity on the wily one-pointer ever since. Now, it's illegal in PA, so for me to tag out on a unicorn, I have to travel.

    I have 2-10 locked down.

    I have no idea how many of each... Everytime I go through my bin of racks, I find deer that have already dropped off of His Majesty's radar.

    Same with turkey beards/spurs. No idea when/where they came from. Some of them, at least.

    I remember every hunt, but sometimes it just takes picking up that dusty old 3-pointer to jog my memory. Lots of good stories in those boxes...

    without doing a lot of digging:
    bow and rifle
    4-10pt
    2-9pt
    17-8pt
    3-7pt
    2-6pt
    1-5pt
    6-4pt
    6-3pt
    2-2pt
    1-1pt
    so my streak goes from 1-10
