When that guy takes that small basket buck, instead of shaking his hand and congratulating a fellow hunter on his good fortune, you act like he's just raped your grandmother. And in the next breath you wonder why hunter numbers are declining. It's called elitisim, fellas.
I will agree with that statement 100%. The elitisim you talk about is on both side of the fences. Funny thing is I have never once justified anything I have shot. From my first doe fawn to my many basket racks to what I shoot now.Yes I have herd the same things others have said. I just knew what I shot at the time was right for me.Are there guys who beat up others for shooting basket racks, yep. Are there guys who beat up trophy hunters andclaim we are runing the"hertiage" of hunting, yep.
So I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Don't throw stones from glass houses
