Your words, Trevor....and inflammatory at BEST. Stating that a beautiful sober woman is more of a challenge to pick up at a wedding than a beautiful drunk woman isn't diminishing anyone's "macking" abilities. It's stating a proven fact.

Another divisive and inflammatory jab.

If people who hunt where a large number of trophy animals roam feel that there accomplishments are diminished when someone points this out as fact.....then that's their issue. I see this discussion as NOT being divisive. It's something that holds true no matter your location "IF" you have the grounds to hunt them in all their habitat (bedding, feeding, travel routes - to and from). It's simply an interesting topic, to me (and a few others).

Will it stop me from hunting the rut? Heck no! Will I feel like my accomplishments of killing bucks during the rut have been diminished? Heck no! Would I feel a greater sense of sccomplishment if I'd taken these bucks on their normal feeding patters.....outside the rut? Heck yeah!

I don't and haven't been able to) see the rub.
