That's an opinion coming from an instructor unfamiluar with the very regulations your suppose to be teaching. What you can't back up is with the facts. No where is there a post that I say take a bad shot, don't do all you can to track a shot animal, hunt before or after hours and so on. What I can point out is that there have been several post from people in the mid-atlantic area sick and tired of the deer. Several members hunt year round because the land owners consider deer to be Rodents. They call demanding the bow hunters kill more deer. If we don't the snipers do it in the middle of the night.

You got pissed because I stated I don't care for the shoulders. There has been other members who also don't care for shoulders. One shoots 25/yr and feeds his friends dog with the shoulder. I also stated that for now on I will make it a point to donate all my shoulders to Hunters for the Hungry, just like I have done with several deer. How many have you donated?

To recall those post lead to the following conclusion:

If you are totally ethical you eat everything Balls and All.
If you are a little less ethical you stop at the heart and liver.
Next level you eat hind qtrs, shoulders, back straps, tender loins and neck.
Just below that you don't harvest the neck and so on.

So where do you stand chick? How much do you harvest. Do the Balls taste like chicken?

To conclude I don't hold a grudge. You and/or your husband should expirience this first hand. This fall why don't you all take a vacation to the DC area. It's a nice family trip and I will take one of you hunting in one of my honey holes. You will see a minmum of 4 dozen deer with 2 dozen with in 25 yrds. Several 130 - 140 class bucks and atleast one or two monsters. I should also include about 4 dozen dead deer on the side of the road hit by the cars daily.

The last thing I will close with, I will be in Idaho in the fall of 2005 shooting one of your big bulls with my bow. No I don't plan on eating the meat (though I do like Elk) but I do plan on donating the whole thing to Hunters for the Hungry.
