RE: Trophy Hunting?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
"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.

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><hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Well.....I am glad you feel that way...You just keep on a chucklin'!! Generation after generation???? I totally agree with you there!!!! That is why alot of states are in the shape they are in now. Including the state of Missouri, where QDM is now an option, but it wouldn't suprise me a bit if it doesn't become the norm by the way of law in the future.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Like I said before...pull the other one.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>Yes, that is a good one.......By the way, why don't you grow a set and jump in a little more often?? It is real nice of ya just to chime in every once in a great while for a smart aleck comment...Get some debatable material and jump on in!! Pose up some scenarios to try to catch me crosstalking??? You know better, don't you??

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>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.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Once again, you are mistaken. I can tell that question is directed at me, but the truth of the matter is, I pay NOBODY to hunt their property. I just get off of my a$$ and help the guys out when they need help, and supply them with meat for the dinner table. I have no control of who they let or do not let hunt on the property they own. They could very well shut it down to me tomorrow, and there is not a thing I could do about it. But, that is the chance I am willing to take. Instead of complaining about it, you should get up and try it sometime.

Also, like I said earlier, you can believe me or not when I say I am doing my part to help out the future of hunting. I am, and you should. If you want to call me a trophy hunter, go ahead. But remember this, I cannot control the deer and where they decide to wander. All I can do is make it more appealing for them, and then to do my part in balancing out the herd. It's guys like you who make us (QDM'ers)sick when you decide to roll every spike, forkhorn, basket, and button buck you see, but then in that one instance where one of the big boys walks infront of you and you take him down, you act like you are all that to all of your buddies. Where is the hypocrisy now!!!But thats o.k., that is another chance I am willing to take. I know I have to take the good with the bad.

So, you just keep on rollin' the small bucks, it is your choice, they are legal...................................for now.

And to Davidmil,

Can't kill enough so they come up with more generous bag limits???

Why aren't they raising the bag limits on bucks then??? They are not because there is a lack of bucks, that is why they are having you shoot does. And the overpopulation arguement doesn't work due to the fact that the existing bucks have no competition from other bucks to breed with does.
