"well.....people around me......ummm.....if i didnt shoot him, someone else surely would have" guess we'll never know.
Once again,I see the trophy chasersdismiss the statement that "someone else will just kill him"...........
yet they can't get anything accomplished on their own. Why is that?? Could it be that everyone you let pass is getting killed by someone else??
Is that why you run to the neighbors and complain so much?
not sure what your response means, please elaborate on the boldface...what can't they accomplish? these hunters pass small bucks in hopes that they survive until maturity. Theydon't care if that means they eat buck tag soup, because they can kill a doe for meat in their soup. And me personally? I run to the neighbors complaining about how they got the monster before i did.[8D]
i am neither a shoot everything, nor a trophy hunter....in between. i have personal standards which i set, being around the 120 inch mark.....and if a deer doesn't come close, i let him walk, course this could be why im buckless for two years straight now, maybei shouldve dropped my standard and shot the little 4s and 6s, when i didnt succeed in meeting a personal goal.
your one to preach about instant gratification, and how it baffles you, but people "in you camp" as stated earlier shoot the first deer they see big or small. that seems pretty instantaneous to me.
TEmbry15,
I respect what you say! Youkeepyour standards and you will be rewarded. It took me3 years of eating my tags, but the last yearI got rewarded for my standards.
