Greg I didn't chastise/belittle you or your hunting accomplsihments for the sake of your right to choose whether or not to enter an animal or not. Someone asked a question and I answered it.

Period.

Coming from someone who has entered one.....I wouldn't expect you to understand my choice NOT to. Iwouldn't walk across the street to have the Pres. of the club shake my hand and measure my deer.

i'm finding out that the more I get into this endeavor (deer hunting) the more reclusive I'll likely become (when it comes to my hunting area.....and what I want to do there.....INCL. what I take). It's becoming more and more "personal" to me. That's all I meant.
