Default RE: Controversy !!!!!!!!!!!!

My partner and I guide hunters here in PA, and the only limits we set are the ones established by the GC. I figure that if Joe Hunter brings his child to hunt ,and it' s their 1st,let em have at it!!In fact we encourage the taking of does and if your down to your last hours and paid us $600 , who are we to say " go home empty handed" . Now I' ve hunted alot of places and w/some good and some bad hunters but never judged one on basis of trophy quality. For instance , this year my eldest son took his 1st turkey. It was a 16 lb jake . Some thought it a bad idea to let him kill it. They assumed that it was killing for the sake of killing. But those who know us personally, have seen the work he put into it (scouting, hours in the rain,and pre dawn hours of patience only to have to go to school of all things LOL).These few understood it for the true " trophy" it is!! I myself have killed lots of younger bucks in my time, but have" graduated" . I myself hold off for " good" bucks at first but since I love venison as does my entire family,I' ll shoot meat!!! I also Know people locally who have several kids and maybe only one parent workin or both out of job. A few does can go along way. This year with my son hunting we' ll have six tags ,but half of our meat will go to a lady who is the soul provider for 11 kids!! So I guess all in all I' m saying judge not what you don' t know. Sorry for the essay but just my 4 cents
