Don't get me wrong, I love hunting just for even the chance of seeing nice buck and am even thankful for just the being out there. Any close encounter is special.

BigJ... didnt mean to step on your toes there, I guess im maybe a bit misunderstood... not exactly sure what u were saying on your soap box. We have actually for our area, as far as doe population, a fairly healthy herd. Our area just has trouble allowing bucks get older than 2. Its hard to explain it on screen. I dont want to sound like an antler addict who doesnt care about anything but big bucks. "it's not the size of the deer but the size of the hunt"

It wouldnt bother me if only 1 or two young bucks were shot but when they stack up five or six year after year or shoot one little one then shoot another and use someone elses tag, i get angry, because obviously they are out just to say they are killing bucks.
