Default RE: Alright! Just exactly what kind of deer hunters are we?

I'm a Crop Enhancement Specialist...I hunt my own land almost exclusively and lose money when they eat too many beans and peanuts, I don't mind letting them have a few acres, but I'm not going to let it get out of control...Yep, I love killing good bucks, but if his antlers aren't at least 8 points and 18-20 inches wide then I'm not going to kill him, my niece might...I have taken does right there in the field with him...I look at it this way, if I catch a 6-7 pound bass I get a kick out of releasing him...If I let that good buck walk, he's leaving his good genes in the herd, and I'll bet that if he has made it 2-3 years then he will make it a couple of more.

When I was younger I was obsessed with bigger/better/faster/newest...Lets just say that I've grown up a bit....I get as much pleasure at preparing a good meal with the venison that I bring in as I do in hunting them...
