RE: 2 Minutes - 2 Button Bucks
Well, I truly can't believe the trouble this thread caused. I am so sorry for even posting it, and it will make me think twice (or maybe 3 times) before I post again. I was looking foward to getting my 1st deer with a bow and posting the picture here, but now I don't think I will. I was so happy for my father-in-law when he got those 2 deer. It is legal, he wouldn't do anything that wasn't. They were tagged as does because that's how it's done here. Yes, he should have tuned his broadheads, and my husband is working with him on that. Also, by the way, he did not wound that other deer, every shot was low. I know he would be the first to feel horrible for wounding and not finding a deer. Everybody could use a little instruction, maybe some of us more than others, but the main reason for the post was because I was just so happy for him for the joy it brought to him. I certainly DID NOT come here to BRAG about shooting 2 button bucks. I am as ethical a hunter as anyone here, and I really didn't see the harm in it. We butchered those deer last night, and I can't wait to eat the tasty venison - all venison is tasty to me - a big doe, buck, yearling or button buck. We have not done well in the past few years in putting venison in the freezer, not for lack of trying, but for lack of seeing deer. So when those 2 showed up at Dad's stand, I'm sure he saw the venison that's been so hard to come by lately. I did think that was one of the reasons we were out there for - putting food on the table. I DO KNOW that he thought they were does. He did not purposely go out in search of button bucks to shoot. Why do some of you make it sound like he did? <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>
