mammasboy and GaDeerhuntr:
That is truely the saddest thing regarding hunting that I have heard in a while. Don't get me wrong, we love QDM around here, but to subject your fellow hunting bretheren to that? SHAMEFUL!
Why is that so sad?? Around here most people practice deer management or they hunt on ranches that practice it. When I see a picture of a guy posing with a 1 1/2 or a 2 1/2 year old buck, the only thing I think of is "why did he shoot that". Should I feel bad for that? No, its my opinion. There is just no good reason why a guy should shoot a young buck around here, but very few guys do. Most of the young bucks that are shot are normally taken by kids, which is fine, but once they take there first buck they are told to set there goals higher and hold off for something better. All the kids that I have taken hunting, I would always make them pass on young bucks and wouldnt let them shoot until a mature management/cull buck walked out. None of them seemed to mind passing on young bucks and waiting for an old one.
And about taking away the guys gun/bow, that was just a joke.
