Even back when I hunted a lot of deer, I would say "I'm going out 'bambi-popping". Sorry if my terminology offended, perhaps I should have said "deer hunters that have not progressed to a higher level of big game hunting" but it seems a litte wordy, also hope it didn't hit too close to home.
Progress to a higher level or perhaps you meant a heavier load to pack out of the woods?
I respect all types of hunting for all species but in my opinion it is far easier to kill a big bull 350+ in your average Elk Patch then it is to kill a 20"+ whitetail or a 35" Mule Deer.
