Work for it??.....
How is buying a piece of land and just not shooting anything for a couple years while you feed them artificial supplements to grow their racks considered "working for it"??
Honestly, it's certainly work to put in food plots, time and money as well and that is certainly harder than doing nothing and shooting the first 1.5 year old that walks by.
This is what I don't understand about the TDM crusade. It has been proven time and time again (see above) that it requires absolutely no additional skill to kill bigger bucks if you just don't shoot them for a couple years............naturally there are more of them around and they become easier to find and kill. Why would you want to make what you do LESS satisfying??
I'd say that is true, IF there are more of them but it's certainly harder to kill a more mature deer than it is a 1.5 year old IF again IF the numbers are low. Is that not true atlasman?
To kill a monster buck in an area where people rarely even see them is something to be proud of...........to drag something out that will make guys shake their heads in amazement that a deer that size came from those woods..........THAT is something to strive for and THAT is worthy of RESPECT!!!
Totally agree and you made my last question. Thank you and no one could agree with that.
Any clown can kill a big buck where they are plentiful..............just turn on a hunting show if you want proof.
True that, we see it on TV all the time and I am surely not impressed with the shooter, yes with the animal, no to the shooter.
Seriously, who had the tougher task and is deserving of more praise???..........the guy who drops a big boy in Illinois...........or similar deer dropped in Delaware.
Depends on the location.
NO HE DIDN'T JUST TYPE THAT.
