" One thing Frank said in his original post.."management buck". That kind of "modern" hunting terminology annoys me to no end . "- Jeffb

That's the truth, I've always maintained that the phrase "management buck" really translates quiet well as that buck just helped pay for the ranch managers salary. It's sad that they hang such a high price tag on a buck they instantly insult as soon as it walks into view.

What's funny is when a HUGE monster deer steps out in clear view, but obviously the "hunter" or hunting show didn't pony up the cash for the herd monarch so they say they couldn't get a good shot on it and watch it walk off only to take a marginal shot on the next management looking eight that walks by.
