1. Plain and simple they were wrong for giving the feller a hard time on what he does.....some people hunt for meat some for horns....


Now to address the above quote.....It's really funny how you make it sound so simple...I understand some of you hunters here on this site can't and wont let a buck pass because somebody else will most certainly whack it...I can understand that. You simply have no idea how hard it is to to see a 120 inch 2.5 year old and pass him up just hoping he will make it another year, hope that another hunter wont make that harvest, hope that he wont get hit by a car, hope that he wont get poached, hope that mothernature dont take him, simple hope that you see him next year when he makes a mistake... If your lucky enough to play a chess match with all of those factors and your are LUCKY enough to see that same buck when he has grown to his full potential, and he does make a mistake during rut, you had better be ready to check mate...

It is more satisfiying than you can ever imagine to hunt a animal that you have watched and learned from(trust me that buck has learned from your mistakes as well) and be lucky enough to make that shot...
