I find it hard to understand why anyone would care what others think about their hunting choices.
What gives anyone the right to tell me or anyone else what to shoot....?
While sitting in my stands, the last thing that I am thinking about is what someone else will think of me when I bring out a deer....
JMO here, but if it bothers you that others are judging you, then maybe "secretly" you are judging yourself and you are truly seeking their approval .........
JMO....
good post.

Well said browtines.
Now if we can get the so-called trophy hunters to quite trying to force regulations that push their agenda at the expanse of other hunters, we can all live in peace and hunt the way we each want to hunt.

Good post browtines, and if ALL hunters, wether meat or antlers, would quit pushing for limit increases, or limit decreases, to suit their agenda, we would be much better off. Just hunt and dont worry about what anybody else is doing!!

I couldn't agree more Winchester. Now if the harvest data strongly suggested our current limits/seasons were causing a problem, I would be all over pushing for changes. Yet the harvest data doesn't indicate a problem. In fact, the harvest numbers are getting better with time. Why change something when there's no problem to fix?

Yeah easy for you to say there BSK. Not everyone is as fortunate as to have a 500 acre private utopia with mature bucks running shod. Im sure your very happy and im glad. But stop thinking about yourself for a minute.

I'm not thinking about myself. I'm looking at harvest data from across the state. I don't see any major problems with our state's deer herds. Hunting opportunities abound, and hunters have an amazing level of freedom in choosing how/what they harvest, whether that's on private or public land.

Heck, I don't have a 500-acre "utopia" either! Now I do have 500 acres of unproductive hardwoods growing in chert-rock soil with a pH of 4.3 that I'm trying desparately to improve, but no utopia yet!

But you'll have a better chance at bagging a wall hanger than most hunters in this state i guarantee and i think that's awesome. Not everyone has it as good and some hunters would like it to be. Just saying, good luck with the chert-rock.

And you would be dead wrong with that guarantee. Most property I monitor is far more productive than mine.
