Since we're posting pics of our past hunting season, here's a pic of my 2006-2007 season. Do you have any idea how happy I would have been to get a spike deer? Hunting is a very personal thing and means different things to different people. If you're not happy with a spike, by all means, pass it up. But if someone else gets one, be happy for them. They were successful. I'm not a "youngster", and I've taken a few larger bucks, but if I get a spike, it's a big deal to me. It's a sad day when you can't be happy for someone getting a deer, no matter how small.
Wow ....GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you sir for your service and this post

!!! I hope pthers let this put some things in perspective!!! Some of you are elitist PIGS ...get a life. [>:]
Tony Tony Tony "Elitist pigs" That a little tough. I'm thinking "Ignorant" might be a better term.
The part of the equation that some of these guys miss is the fact that 80 % of the hunters out there get to hunt less than five times per year. They have jobs,kids and families that come before tree time. Many people have physical & age limitations that too limit access and success.
Hunting is many things to many people.
Be thankful that you are afforded the opportunity to pass many bucks in your search foryour "trophy",but too berespectfulto the man that gets to tag his "trophy" within his restraints.
Then check the package I'm sensing you might have some binding taking place.
Ok Jim, I'll let it go at ignorant ....

Great point on your post too!
For others reading this, Bawana is a guy that chooses to shoot big bucks ...he wouldn't shoot the bucks I would, but he will fight for my right and the right ofALL guys to kill what they want .... trophy hunters alike ..... he has the proper balance ,,,, on this subject at least
