RE: Trophy Hunting?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
1. In some areas they may not have alot of opportunity to shoot a deer.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Can you answer me why that is??? What areas are you talking about??
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>2. Some people get more of a thrill out of shooting a buck than a doe no matter what the size.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
I am sure. I just know, that when an experienced hunter harvests a small basket rack 6 pointer, the following year he will say "I hope I shoot a smaller one this year!"
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>3. Some people just choose too.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Yes, you are right. And they will be the first one complaining about antler restrictions. Good answer.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I don't even cut the horns off the little ones anymore just use the hide and ribe cage for coyote bait!!!<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Wow. I can't believe what I just read. You just got to take a small buck, can't take a doe for the same purpose?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Shoot whatever you want and if you are proud of it then who am I to do anything but slap you on the back and help drag it out!!!<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Same here, if it is a large enough deer to justify two people dragging the animal out. But, unless there is some other unforeseen circumstances, you should have no trouble at all dragging out that spike buck.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Horn size really don't matter if you don't enjoy yourself while doing it. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
You are missing the point, badly. I would be glad to harvest any animal that comes in front of me and know that it doesn't effect the state of hunting for tomorrow. But, we do not live in a perfect world, now do we? I know and have seen the effects of this type of thinking, and the outlook is not good.
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>You can agrue all you want and post all the questions you want about why would experienced hunters shoot this or that but it comes right down to,they want to and prob. have better reasons for doing it than most inexperienced hunters.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
That is all I am asking for. I would like to know the "better reasons for doing it", because I haven't seen any yet.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Personally I am more into watching our next generation get started into hunting than what I shoot anymore. Anyone who is a father knows what I mean.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Ahhhhhhhh..... There it is. If you are that interested for the future of younger generations, why not help presereve it? If people keep going on the path of "shoot everything that moves", there will be no future for the younger generations. Because, that is the way it is going. Just talk to the states with antler restrictions. How hard is it to understand? By the way, you don't have to be a father to understand what you said above. I don't have children, but take every opportunity to take any and all of my nieces and nephews out into the timber or onto the lake when ever they desire.
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Wolfen I don't disagree with you philosophy just don't like to see someone pushing thier beliefs on someone else.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Once again, this is not about pushing beliefs of one onto another. It is a friendly debate, and that's what debates are, organized arguments.
