That's a nice pic of a dandy buck but it is a shame that it is not good enough to make you happy. I think that explains to a large degree your support for ARs and you lack of empathy for your fellow hunters that don't have access to the quality of hunting you have. For most PA hunters that buck would be the buck of a lifetime of hunting. I guess you attitude explains why you don't want to hear about the research that points out the negative effects of ARs.
It's a shame that you can't leave any thread alone without wanting an arguement. I'm sorry that I offend you with my support for AR's. All I did was post a nice picture of a young deer and state that I would let him walk due to his obvious potential. This deer is a young deerand has the potential to grow into a real trophy. That doesnt mean that I wouldn't be happy for any other hunter who might take him. I would happily congratulate him, help him load it in his truck and offerhim a copy of the photo. I think your response tells us where you're coming from. You are obviously the bitter, jealous type that gets upset when you think someone has something that you dont.My access to this spot came after a lot ofeffort and keeping it requires the same. I've only killedfour bucks in the last 12 years in PA because I pass the young ones waiting for a good one.This one is safe for now near me.
I truly hope youhave an opportunity at one like this andif you deide to shoot, I hope you harvest him.If you do, please post the picture and I'll be among the first to congratulate wholeheartedly.
I supprt AR's because I hope that someday everyonehas a chance at a buck like this.
