Dream Big!
I did that just the other day, and although I can't remember which show it was, I planted myself when I saw a near Booner 10-point parade across the screen. A quick pan to the hunter drawing his bow, the grunt, then the kill shot, and it was over for that tall-tined brute. After he was bagged and tagged and all the back-slap and high-fives were given out, it was off to another corn belt state. By the end of that episode another giant made his television debut and a well-placed arrow finished him off as well.
Having a couple of Midwestern tags in my pocket this season got me wondering if I could be lucky enough to send a shaft of carbon through some Booner's wheel-house. In fact, I'm sure we all find ourselves dreaming of just such an opportunity. Not to dismiss the "average buck", but it's the possibility that a true-blue monster might walk under our stand that keeps us getting up in the pre-dawn darkness day after day as we tell ourselves "It could happen today!"
In reality, the chance of most of us just seeing, let alone shooting, a Booner buck is slim; but if you have a tag for one of those corn belt states located in Middle America, at least you're in the game. It's true what they say-when the rut kicks in, you never know what might come strolling by. And although you won't see me pass up too many 140 inch bucks, it sure is nice to dream big!
