Gus:

Let me explain it clearly. I'm not on the fence about anything, now. I stated (and quoted) THREE instances where I said I wouldn't go if it interefered with what I had to do, here (thinning does). The family will get a lion's share (i.e. whatever they want) of the does I take.

I have no access to deer the size the outfitter has.....and I wouldn't invite just any yahoo into the woods I hunt. I don't offer my woods to many.....and I wouldn't bring a business client in to hunt with me.

If the man that lives across the street from me said he had too many steers.....and he wanted me to come and kill one of them....and I thought the family could use the meat........I'd go kill the steer. If he told me I had to sit in a treestand and shoot it.....I'd still probably go get them some free meat.

Call me Satan.......the "anti-hunter" or whatever....I'm telling you what I'd do.
