I don't begrude you a ten point and the vast majority of the states 1 M hunters don't either,since they don't know you. Yet you begrudge the fact that our group shot 6 BB last year even though we only had one other chance at an adult deer ,and that was the doe I got. You begrudge the fact that 68K other hunters harvested a BB in 2003 even though most of those hunters only shot one ,just like your friend.
Which brings me to my final word;
My buddy hunts what he likes and that is fine with me. I have always said that everyone has their own expectation and measure of success. If you like to hunt does and an occasional BB, That I have no problem with. The problem appears when bashing begins on a plan to let a number of bucks make it to maturity, and blame occurs on the folks who like to hunt mature animals. Shooting 83% BB in your harvest and then blaming my kind for your lack of 1.5 buck opportunities is pure hipocrasy. Plain and simple, if you want to shoot BB, that is fine with me, I'll work around you, but don't blame anyone but the man in the mirror when no 1.5 buck are seen next year. Why is it that if I don't see what I'm after, I can somehow live with a tag unfilled, but if your kind sees no 1.5 bucks, they reduce to burger all next years crop and then stand innocent of all responsibility?
I never could understand all the infighting among hunters, especially in PA.
I guess I'm in the process of being enlightened.
