I hunt for horns now, and if they don't meet my self-imposed criteria, I don't shoot.
I've heard the 'stages' of a hunter as 1) kill everything, high body count 2) must limit out on every hunt 3) method of take, rifle-to-bow or muzzleloader 4) size of rack, or drake mallards only etc. 5) just being out there and enjoying the experience. If I kill something, great. If not, great. I duck hunted for 3 years with my son and buddy without firing a shot, and I've been duck hunting since 1964.
I'm in #5, except for coyotes. I'll kill coyotes.
