RE: Let 'em go and let 'em grow
Unless your its your first deer or your going hungry, for God sakes is it too much to ask to let the spikes and 4-pointers have a chance to mature?? If you go out hunting and stick a spike rather than the doe standing right next to him, don't expect people like me to "RESPECT" your decision. Things like "I bought my tags" and "I'm gonna fill my freezer with any deer I can" makes hunters look bad... not the guys who couldhavekilled the same spike but choose not too... When I see some experienced 40-year-old hunter checking in his 4 pt at the check station it makes me physically sick. Actually it makes me embarrassed for him. Kinda the equivalent of beating up a sixth grader and being proud of it. Here's an idea, next spike that walks by your stand, draw... aim.... and then back the bow down...Trust me, its a far better feeling than killing it.
