Nice buck Kirby. Your right, they don't all have to be world class to be great animals. Sometimes it is the circumstances within the hunt that make them special.
I myself, in the past several years, have had a seemingly loss of interest in shooting a deer. I have found it is more enjoyable for me to see just how close in I can get them or how close up I can sneak up on them in the woods. It REALLY gets the ticker pumping to call one in on you like you did. Even more so for me than to actually make the shot. Nothing like a testosterone charged buck coming in up close and personal ready for a rumble to get your juices flowing. Don't get me wrong, if the right one makes a showing, I will not have a problem squeezing the shot off. I just don't seem to be nearly as mad at them as I once was./ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Like you mentioned even the young ones can put up a decent show.
Thanks for the report and good luck on your upcoming trip. Looking forward to seeing what those AM's will be doing up north.
