I can't imagine being too friendly with Cleveland Amory unless I'd had a few adult bevs....
However, I'm sure it was she that you debated BW...big into the anti rodeo scene....

By the way, I played guitar with Alvin Lee at Woodstock when he was with Ten Years After...but, my greatest memory was singing with Brenda Lee on the Glen Campbell show...wow, those were the days...

Eggshells, rice paper, or sneak around. I'm just glad I don't live in a place (yet, anyway) that I have to worry about hauling the deer I kill from the woods, to the check station, to my house. That is the extent of where any deer I kill travels. Tailgate down, everytime. Not to brag really, just for ease of loading and unloading actually, and this includes unloading at the check station for weighing and aging and such. Old Ford with a really old and rusty tailgate mechanism is good reason for that.  I get the feeling that I don't get what a lot of you are saying simply b/c I don't experience the more "city" aspect of your experiences. I'm fortunate enough to be able to kill a deer and get it to the house with minimal exposure to public viewing, short of the checking station that is, and at that station, everyone that I know of is glad to see that you've been successful and hear a good story or two.

Sometimes I think breaking our traditions is what will kill the sport. When I fish I go for the big fish, doesn't mean I won't take a small one but I try to catch a big one. When I hunt I try to kill a big one but I might take a not so big one. Breaking traditions like going to the local general store with your deer in the truck and having a bunch of guys milling around checking it out, or taking the long way home with that huge stringer of fish and being so proud...is core tradition. Just like deer camp, buck poles, pickup trucks, Hoppes oil...ruining traditions will ruin hunting/fishing for me...Sneaking that deer to the check-in station so I won't offend someone or apologizing for catching that big walleye...nah, can't do it

Winchester, when you shoot only 3.5 year old bucks-or older, do you look at their antlers? Would you shoot a 3.5 year old basket six? Would you call him a cull buck?
Just asking.
BW, if he was 4.5 and had a basket six I would call him a cull buck, but not at 3.5 And yes I absolutely look at their antlers and if they are small at 3.5 I dont shoot them. Now when they reach 4.5 I am much more inclined to shoot a small racked buck due to him being fully mature and very likely will grow no larger rack in his life.

Can't tradtions be different for different people?
I know that what I have traditionally done is not what the next guy has done in the past and vice versa.
So breaking from tradtions being the end of this sport is pretty hard to grasp IMO.

This whole subject can be looked at from both sides with equal results. The Trophy hunters who kill purely for the Antlers and make that know to the public is a black eye. The meat hunters who shoot anything, especially fawns with spots and very young deer, and make that known to the public as well, also give just as big if not a bigger black eye.
Common sense must be used by both sides or we will fail from within our own ranks, not from outside, but purely within our own ranks.
I too will have to agree that the general non hunting public, has less of a problem with fully mature animals being taken, and displayed for all to see, than young small animals taken and displayed for everyone to see, whether its photos or deer in the truck.
If all hunters, regardless of your skill level and success, would use some good ol common sense, we would have very little problems on this subject!
And yes the throwing around of names and incorrect info absolutely gets old, its ok to be normal, people will still like you even if you dont use some celebrity, whether real or even bogus in ever thread. Its o.k., just be yourself and dont try to impress people through false means and tall tales.

That's why I said "for me"
