Tell me what the difference is in this scenario:
You get invited to a big time lease or outfitter to take a management buck. 8 points or less......3.5 yrs or more.
Are you gonna look that outfitter in the eyes and tell hm you'll shoot the 150" 2.5 yr old if you "want to"?
His lease/ranch. He can (obviously) shoot whatever he wants....but he has a need to cull a certain "class" buck.
Hunting means so much more to me thanthe social adventure many are making it out to be.
I have no reason to hunt some where that others would set limitations on what I am hunting. Here in PA we get one buck tag and one or more doe tags. The P.G.C. has set 4 points to a side limit in my area ,and a plan to reduce deer numbers with outlandish doe allocations.
These are the only rules I must follow. And no ones personal goals or agendas will interfere with my hunting. I would not hunt where there were limits on my the joys I get from hunting.
Of course I care enough about my hunting to have purchased enough land for me and my family & Friendsto hunt on withoutsome one Else's ideas or agendas in the back of our minds.
Hunting is supposed to be fun , and for us it is.
