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.
Jeff, seriously, I hunt with others, and I am glad when they score .... don't get me wrong .... last year was a dry one for me and when they scored and I didn't, the pill seemed so much bigger and harder to swallow for some reason
But this year the tables were turned ... they scored .... just not as well as I did ..... I hunt all seasons though and I also am not a part of a BBM program, so what others take will not stop me from filling my freezer ....... as with everything else .... it's all subjective
