Atlasman, a little misunderstanding on your part, I think. I was in no way trying to bash meat hunters.
When you use words like redneck, cityhunter, meathunter and stereotype......it is pretty clear that you like to lump people into groups and put whatever label on them you see fit............anything to isolate yourself from people like " them"
I' m just thankful you didn' t go off on a rant about blacks, gays or arabs
So I find it very frustrating that you think Zelazny shouln' t " get excitement" from his 150-200" buck(if he even gets one), because he' s " picking it out of a crowd" of monsters.
For the 100th time I never said he shouldn' t get excited..........I just said it can' t be AS exciting when there are so many like that in one concentrated area.......instead of maybe one per county like most areas.....if that. Think about it.......the biggest reactions to the size of that deer will be by people that don' t know where it came from..........the people who live, work and/or hunt that land will look at it like it' s just another big deer.......because they see 20 of them a day and it' s no big deal to them to see a deer like that. Most everyone else will be slack jawed because they are from areas that probably have never seen a deer like that........hence the excitment vs less excitement. Kill that deer on land that everyone has free roam to hunt and people will be in awe.........kill it there and people will be in awe of the deer still.......but if you think people won' t think less of the accomplishment when they find out it was taken from a secret little deer growing project selling tickets to get in...........I' ve got some swamp land I' d like to sell ya
