It might be jealousy butI think part of it is rage because they don't approve of some hunting methods. I can tell you thatI hate bigshots thatbrag about their deer but don't practice fair chase(I won't giveinsight as to my beliefs, please). I'm not jealous of that kind of a kill, it just pisses me off. You guys all think that it's just jealousy but sometimes it's not atall.I also believe that when you're traeted lesser you tend to try and prove yourself.

Those who shoot big deer also consider themselves better. That trophy doesn't mean a thing to me if you can't appreciate more than the competition or the rack. I don't neccesarily think all hunters with a big rack on the wall are more skilled, they just getluckier sometimes .

Also, if you're experienced and can't encourage the overall fun of the sport by sharing politely and putting yourself at others levels, then don't bother talking. Because you're a veteran doesn't make you the alpha.

I love this site for sharing and discussing. We should all treat each other as friends.
