Default RE: POLL: Can you buy hunting success?

ORIGINAL: Uncle_Buck

I would have to say NO to this one.

The greatest success I have had in my 20+ years of hunting can not be measured in inches with a ruleror with any other instrument nor can it have a monitary value placed on it. My biggest success came last year when I harvest my first deer (A Doe mind you) with my 8 yr old son by my side. Ihave taken plenty of other deer in years past, but to this day, that is the most successful one.

JMO...
Nicely put Uncle Buck. One of the problems that many of us have in this day and time is being caught up with inches, racks and records.Unfortunately, I am not exempted. The media whether popular magazines, videosor most internet sites are caught up with the size of racks and inches. We all feed it. How are we in this verypost defining accomplished? Based on our own responses, it's the size of the deer one can harvest via financial means.However you want tocategorize it,only individuals who receive popular media recognition are those harvesting "monster" deer. One only has to thumb through North american whitetail to see this. It's rare to have someone recognized in the popular media for working hard to harvest a deer or for skill alone. It doesn't sale. Is it right NO. This is one reason I enjoy this site. A person can share his/her experiences and most often receive an Atta Boy/Girl from our online community regardless of size or other criteria. This is nice and quite different from other sites.

We all come here to share and enjoy what we love with others. Many of us have developed great relationships. So,if one can afford it, who am i or anyone of usto scrutinize his/her motives? I doubt that most are seeking any sort of additional recognition or financial gain, so what's the harm? Good for them or you if you are lucky enough to do what you want with your hard earned dollar.
