Hey I looked in the mirror and besides the pounds I have put on as I got older, I am happy what I see. I too answered honestly, I would not shoot the deer and I would rat on a guy who did. Who cares if this situation is real or would ever be applicable to you, you still took 2 deer in one day and that is not allowed. What would you call it?

I honestly don't think your a poacher, Bowfanatic. I have been around here for awhile and have seen your thoughts. I know what your saying and it does make us think!

Thank you! I'm not a poacher in my eyes or my buddies eyes , but for some around here , I would be labeled one. If I got some of you to think about &quot;the poacher&quot; label , hunting ethics combined with hunting law and human ethics , thats whats important to me. I think we have a great bunch of folks around here , but alot of times , most would fear giving an honest answer because of the attacks and being labeled a poacher instead of a hunter.

In all reality , I'd love to say , I'd let him walk. But when I read the thread , the first thing that came to mind was , wow , you can shoot a deer per day (that told me that there must be a population problem). Then the kicker was &quot;a buck of a lifetime&quot;! Well , the first thing that popped in my mind was a picture of heart attack (he was one huge non typical that lived on a ranch) , those that know what buck I'm talking about can relate<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Given that scenario , it would be much easier for me to say I'd let him walk , but in reality , I'd probably shoot three feet over his head from shaking so bad , and if that didn't scare him away , the smell coming from my pants would<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>


Good luck to everyone this year! And BE SAFE!!!
