6ptsika, I'm not assuming anything, simply asking a question. If his zone is not an "earn a buck" zone he can say so. I know that the majority (I thought all were, but if not my mistake) are "earn a buck" and I hope that he got one Saturday or Monday morning, because that would be one helluva a week of hunting. If his zone is not "earn a buck" that is still two fine bucks in a week which is a great accomplishment. So please don't assume that I am assuming anything.

Midwest, I don't know that anyone has tried to degrade his achievement. As far as I can see, most everyone has congratulated Trock on his buck. Some questioned his shot decision, but as far as I'm concerned that's his decision. I'm sure he would not have taken the shot if he had doubts as to whether or not he would have harvested the deer. They may not have taken that shot, but it was his personal decision. There are other questions about whether he followed his state's regulations or not. That is not a personal decision, that is following the law. No one has made any accusations, just asked questions. I don't really see a problem with that. Do you?
