What you're talking about (people complaining....or ....in some people's opinion...."trying to diminish the accomplishments of others") rears its ugly head in MANY ways.

I've been on the receiving end of it on several occasions....by people attempting to identify the herd I hunt as "Parks deer"...."suburban deer".....etc...

What another man is doing while he hunts makes no difference to me. HOW another man hunts makes no difference to me.

If you said to me.....that the NO.1 reason I have the opportunity to kill a lot of deer (if you consider the number I kill a "lot") is because I live in a place that has an abundance of deer......I'd have NO ISSUES with that assessment. It's a fact, in reality. NO ISSUES.

Where the "rub" comes into play....is when someone attempts to make the EXACT same claim in regards to large antlered deer.
