Hey PT....I think Fran has a point. "Supporting" all hunters.....and rooting for their success.....are two different things (IMO).

I support anyone hunting around me (or ANYWHERE)....as long as they're legal and ethical. Now.....do I hope the guys doing it legally and ethically all take bucks from the same herd I'm hunting?

Honestly? Nope.

Is this "competition"? Sure. Is this way of thinking "wrong"? I suppose some will see it that way. Around here....I don't "think" there's a "lot" of good bucks to go around (if EVERYONE were successful in taking their limit. I don't wish any ill will on any fellow hunter....but I'd be lying if I said I hoped they all were successful in filling their tags.

Weapon of choice has no bearing in my way of thought, though.
