<font color=red>"Oh, I forgot. You harvest small bucks because you choose to. I think I am getting it now. You are going to take care of you and yours first, right? Who cares what the consequenses are for future generations. I get your way of thinking now, so I will stop asking that question........good answer.</font id=red>
LOL!!! It's funny though. Folks have been hunting deer for generations upon generations before all this Trophy Buck Management slop became the Holy Grail. And now we're all supposed to play Chicken Little and wait for the sky to fall if we shoot a basket rack buck? <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
Like I said before...pull the other one.
I have a hard time listening to a "for the children" speach from folks (no one in particular) who pull out their checkbooks, pay landowners to kick other hunters off property (i.e. land leases), and then belittle still more hunters for shooting a 1 1/2 year old 8-pointer, because they wanted it to live another 2 years so they could have it mounted on
their wall. The whole thing stinks of hypocrisy.
