RE: Trophy Hunting?
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I am still looking for good reasons why experienced hunters need to take small, inferior bucks. Several questions that I have posed in response, have yet to be answered by anyone in favor of taking small bucks. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
I volnteered over 500 hours this year to our local youth football league.So my hunting time was very limited.I hadn't had a shot oppurtunity on a doe so I took a 1.5 yr old buck.The guy who's land I was hunting asked me to shoot any deer I saw.I hunt on land in 4 different county's in NY on a little over 1,200 acres.This guy lives in a suburn setting and there is a problem with too many deer.They get hit almost every night on this road.So I took the shot and took the deer home and don't feel bad about it at all.That's why I needed to take a small buck this year.If it's not a good enough reason too bad.I don't hunt to impress people on the internet.
