Next time try saying "let them go so more can grow and make it easier for me to kill a big antlered deer" That's what you really want and I bet you would get far less greif for saying ittoo.
I think it should be: "Let 'em go and let 'm grow, so many more hunters have a shot at gettingthat mature "once in a lifetime" trophy, so their grandchildren can marvel at the mount years later, and think to themselves "how neat it must have been in the old days, when there was a forest, and deer in it, and it was legal to own a weapon and use it to hunt such a majestic animal."
Somehow, the skull cap from that spike, justwon't invoke the same response now,will it?
livbucks,
Think about how let down the grandchildren willbe when they find out that "once in a lifetime" trophy buck was not so "once in a life time" after all, because his grandpappy and his buddies decided to skew the numbers in their favor and there were "once in a life time" trophy bucks behind every tree.
In one breath you want to shoot a "once in a life time"trophyyet in another you want everyone to pass on the smaller bucks so it will be easier to shoot a "once in a life time" trophy buck. News flash by making it easier to kill a big antlered buck they.........
no longer are "once in a life time" trophys.
