RE: Would you claim the Zaft buck?
It is amazing and sad how we hunters love to eat our young. If you have strong convictions that lead you to believe that Zaft shouldn't enter his buck, fine. It just upsets me that <u>every single</u> time a world class buck is killed, the bashing by other hunters begins. Some stories are suspisious like Rompala, some stories wouldn't be looked at twice unless the deer was a record(Zaft's buck), when nothing in the story can be torn apart, lies are made up (Beatty buck). It really gets old to me.
I guess that I just try to treat people the way I like to be treated and I try to believe that all people are good and honest, until they prove themselves otherwise. I also like to put myself in other people's situation before I bash them about their "ethics" and why they took a shot etc. Just my 2 cents.
