AbsolutelyI would hunt him with a rifle. I like to bow hunt more than I like to rifle hunt but I hunt with all kinds of hunting tools.
But I gotta ask...
And it got me doing that thing again (thinking) and... I refuse to shoot a B&C with a gun. No elitism here because I'm yet veryinexperienced all things considered. Of courseI intend no offense or disrespect to anyone or their preference because we all have our own set of standards we live and in this case, hunt by. I just feel like I'd be doingthe B&Cwrong if I killed him with a gun. If I can't get him with my bow, I don't want him on my wall. It is a standard I feel a B&C is worthy of.
Why would you feel this way? Are does and bucks with less inches of bone less worthy of your standards? Is a 6 year old doe less worthy than a 6 year old buck? Or a 6 year old buck with lesser bone on his head less worthy than a 6 year old buck just because it has more bone on its head.
What if you were hunting in South Florida where you will likely never see a buck that meets P&Y let alone B&C. Would these bucks be less worthy than bucks from Iowa and be gun eligible?
