I am so sick and tired of hearing this from people. You havent killed one yet. Itell them that yes I have a couple does in the freezer from early in the season,But I am looking for a big buck from now on. Some say ohI see. But the ones that make me so disgusted are those that say well look at the pics of the 8 or so deer we killed over gun season and the pics show some nice does and afew small like 4 or 6pointers.Every year if you look for big deer and don't get one they wanna say well you must not have any luck or need to learn how to hunt cause we kill a bunch. Same people when you dodrop a big buck they tell everyone you just got lucky. Makes mejust want to scream at them that my 6 year old would'nt shoot the little can openers that they do.
Sorry just venting. Anyone else go through the same stuff.
I know what you mean! And like you too, my 7 year old knows which ones to let walk and which ones to shoot. Sure, any weekend warrior shotgunner can take a deer running at 60 or 70 yards, but can that same guy take one with a bow at 40 yards, 30 yards, how about 20 yards without getting winded? Probably not. Probably the same group of guys that you are referring too that shoots before/after the proper shooting times, probably the same group that wound a bunch of deer each year that you and I find after the season is over etc...Don't ever defend yourself when you are the ethical, proper deer hunter that spends countless hours on stand and out of stand to be fully prepared to properly manage your area. Hell most weekend warrior shotgunners don't even understand proper management let alone talk smack about all the 4, 6 pointers and fork horns they shoot each year. I hunt with my compound bow
ALL year long and you would be surprised at how many times I have been called "Stupid" because I don't bring a shotgun. Remember, ingnorance is as widespread as my next Ohio record book buck that I kill, but I am patient...he will come...just like the morons that hunt 1 week out of the year with a firearm and don't scout, and won't hunt anymore after that last shotgun evening sunset. Remain cool and calm, ignore the idiots comments and be patient...you are doing what is right!
And you just have to consider the source of those idiotic comments. Good luck to you!
.......I rest my case.
J ..... he definitely DOESN"T get it! [:@]
Its called and ego thing. Who cares if you can shoot a gnat off a flys fuzzybean bag at 20 yards? That "weekend warrior"is doing what he likes and not crying to you about what you are doing. If it legal, who cares. Oh yea, there are those out there who have aHolyer than thou attitude, and if you dont do it their way, you are wrong. Those guysId love to watch them stick a deer with a long bow. I enjoy trad bows and do most of my hunting with them, but I dont feel any better than anyone else. I like what I do, I dont care what you do, as long as the laws are followed. Besides, the Parks and Wildlife dept. kinda depends on all those"weekend warriors " to take deer out of the population. That is why they set the bag limits as they do. If we limited hunting to bows, we better pick up the pace and starttagging more deer.
