Atlasman...I see you are from Big Buck Country USA??? You obviously have a strong opinion, and we are all entitled to one, and we all have one, right! Anyway, I do not rattle because the area I hunt has a quite low overall density of deer, but enought old brutes to keep me going there. It' s pretty bold for you to talk smack about other peoples tactics....that obviously work. Like with everything when chasing deer, elk, moose or whatever....certain tactics have a time and a place. And I too have seen many busted up racks and capes cut all to heck. I doubt if it' s from running into trees or anything like that.

BTW...16 years isn' t all that long you know. Listen up and keep an open mind.
