Trust me, I am not complaining at all. I didn't necessarily expect to kill one but when it takes you 2.5 hours each way of riding a bike and walking up the sides of mountains so steep you can't stand up, you try to hold out for a big one. Most of the places I hunt I could be to where I want to hunt within 15 minutes or less from my vehicle and a small buck might be difficult to kill. I killed 13 small bucks from age 13 to 25 and sometimes I hardly even seen a buck for the entire season, I just started tropy hunting 6 years ago and when you do that, you do things you wouldn't normally do like leaving the vehicle 3 hours before daylight and walking for 2.5 hours to get to where hardly anyone else hunts. There are places like that in every state, but 99%+ of the people don't hunt these areas because it is too much work like taking 7 hours to get a deer back to the vehicle. :?
