Jeff,

I believe you and I think you want to make sure the herd in your area is healthy, as do I.

I will do my part this year and shoot more does, but where I draw the line is I won't do anything with the sole intent of producing more and bigger bucks in the woods that I hunt. (not saying you do)

My biggest beef and I've stayed pretty consistent on this, is with those who come here and tell me to pass smaller bucks in the name of QDMwhen I know it's not quality deer management they truly want. They have no idea of my hunting or herd situation to even make a statement like that but they have to say it because it's the smoke screen they use to cover their own agenda....growing bigger bucks.

A perfect example is you Jeff. You have never (not that I have ever read) told anybody else what to do or what to shoot. You go about your business and your ideas of what to do in your hunting woods. I could only wish others would do the same.

To post on an open forum the "let em go so he can grow" mantra only solidifies my believe that these folks have forgotten that hunting is a personal endeavor and takes on a different meaning to different folks.

If these folks want to stack the odds ofshooting abig antlered deer fine do it, but don't force your way of hunting on everyone else. A little common courtesy is not too much to ask for. If all you want to do is stir the pot and I believe this to be the case in somethreads (like this one), then I think you are a shallow, narrow minded worm of a person with nothing better to do and I honestly feel sorry for you. Please crawl back under the rock you came out of.
