I don't know why this keeps being fought over.

I enjoy letting deer walk while waiting for the big one and have enjoyed hunting much more since doing so.

I haven't connected with him yet but I have seen 180" deer since trying.


I do believe that a person has the right to choose what style hunting he/she wants to do and would like the same respect.


One thing that does bother me is to hear someone continuously talking about wanting a big buck but never lets a small one walk.If you want a big one,be patient and wait,if you don't want a big one,fine by me and shoot the first one you see.


I now have kids hunting with me and half my season is spent getting them deer.Usually a doe and where I hunt,their are plenty of hunters managing the doe population,including me if my kids don't strike first but if they do,I don't need the meat and I am hunting for antlers at that point.


I will see 10 times as many deer in a season than anyone else that hunts the farm I do and to me that is much more enjoyable than going and blasting the first thing you see.


I do agree that the money thing is taking over and would like to see things change but it isn't going to I'm afraid.


It wouldn't surprise me to see all the books change their minimums due to all the antler management that is going on now.Only seems logical to me that 140" deer is easier(not easy)to kill now than 30-40 years ago.
