Mine as well Cecil!

Hey poco....take your opinion and a couple dollars to Starbucks and get you a latte....tell them your problems,and see if they care.

Heck yea, let's just ban the killing of bucks altogether, unless of course it's a min 140 class with 5 pts on one side, that way only real hunters will be able to harvest a buck....yea, that's the ticket. These threads really do give me a sick feeling, and I can't think of another topic that makes me feel this way regarding all the posts I see here on this site. It's deer hunting......different strokes for different folks, and just b/c some of those folks don't agree with some certain type of management philosophy doesn't make them any less of a deer hunter...maybe less of a trophy hunter in some eyes, but certainly not less of a deer hunter. Rant on.

But if all you want to do is get some meat - kill a doe! There are a lot more of them!

That is just a general blanket statement, you don't know what other folks situations are do you...cause thats not what I am experianceing. In the last several years I am generaly seeing 4 or 5 bucks for every doe where I am hunting.

Well I will say this, your allowed your opinion...My first thought was to tell you to go ***k yourself and your opinion. But I want to explain myself. I was raised on a farm, we raised a few beef and hogs. I was taught to hunt, and what we killed was eaten by the family, small game or big game whatever was in season. I am now in my 40's and still have that mentality. I still raise a few head of cattle. I have a wife and 3 boys. My boys and myself put meat in the freezer, small game or big game whatever is in season. My wife is glad to cook what is harvested. We live off what we kill, I have hunted since I was old enough to carry a rifle. In my neck of the woods, I dont have the liberty to take 4 does a day. I usually shoot the first deer I see, unless I can tell its a yearling or a button buck. I have made a mistake and taken small deer, yes I have a 6 pointer on my wall, along with a 10 pointer. I have quite a few trophy's on my wall, hogs, a 4x5 elk, a big horn sheep. So I do see it your way about having "trophy's" In your opinion I suck at hunting ...maybe, and maybe Im a redneck (I guess I am) But your belittling me as a hunter because I "deer hunt" is absolutely ludicrous.
