My best hunting tip

Listen to your instinct or your PH if on a guided hunt, and hold out for a record class trophy. Once you locate a trophy class animal and ready to take aim spend 3 tenths of a second on the head gear and rest of the time to focus on a kill shot when presented. You can look at the horns or antlers all you want after the kill.
