RE: QDM and friends
do u people find that the people u hunt with support and respect your decisions to shoot deer of a certain caliber or do they continue to shoot spikes and does, etc and then give you a hard time?
Everyone I hunt with shoots what makes them happy, so do I, it works.
have u ever converted any of them from the dark side, to shooting for higher goals?
No, I'm not entitled to make those decisions for them.Their goals are their own choices and should be. Dark side? Grow up.
and do u find that its worth it, the tradeoff of shooting a nicer buck vs. shooting a buck every year?
Refer to answer to first question.
