Hey - I really could care less about all this crap. Just expressing my opinion-right or wrong. I'm just getting soured from watching too much outdoor TV. Plus, I'm bored to tears!! Add to that the excitement of the fact I'm leaving for the long weekend to dove hunt & deer/elk scout and get away from the city. Hey, good point about farm fields...but, last time I checked they arent puttin any super deer mix in with the alfalfa. I was referring to the practice of feed-lots purely for the purpose of growing large bucks fast. But even so, I could give a rip-it just aint for me. But I respect that you all can have your opinions and I can have mine. And since my opinion isnt gonna effect any of the way records are kept any time soon-you won't have to worry. "Records to honor the animals"-give me a break. Records to honor the ego would be more like it. Honoring the animal is being grateful enough to be happy with whatever meat so blesses your refridgerator-and management hunting- instead of trophy hunting. By protecting their habitat and fighting for it- from all those who would take it away. And, making sure the habitat is available for the animals and all who seek it in a benevolent fashion. Yes, public lands are much, much more precious a resource than someones fenced in feed-lot will ever be. When I gotta start payin to enter private property to hunt-is a day I hope to never see. But I repect everyones freedom to do what they please with their land-(and the animals on it to a point).
