This is an old retread but I feel compelled to post on it so that the newer readers don't see only side of the arguement. The thing most of the QDM crowd misses (and I am one on my own property) is that not everyone has the same goals or motivation for hunting they do. Really, there are people in the world who don't care about antlers and just enjoy hunting deer. To reuse the fishing analogy used earlier:somepeoplejust like to catch fish for the fun of catching fish and aren't looking for the biggest fish or a citation. Some people just like thecommoraderie of spending time with others or being out in nature and stocking their freezer.Don't assume that what makes a hunt special to you will be viewed the same by others.
