Experience in what???............seeing the same deer year after year and being able to kill it numerous times..........then decide it has grown enough to kill it??........then pretend that this time he walked by you was just a lucky mistake made by an almost unhuntable crafty ghost of the woods...........unlike the the times he walked by you previously right??

Face it.......the only reason he is alive is because you let him be..........that is good fortune, not good instincts.

It's really no different then farming..............it's all a matter of when you pick the crop.

Someone else had a problem with their definition of hunting earlier..........how does "growing" deer fit into that equation and I wonder how the anti's would feel about that?

You haveobviously confused my posts with someone else. I have never given a definition of a hunternor have I mentioned anything about "anti's".

I suggest you recheck the previous posts and directyour comments towards the right people.

This entire QDM garbage started out in Texas on these million dollar ranches where it costs $20,000 to kill a freaking buck.... This Texas "hunting" mentality is killing hunting.......

Next it spread to the midwest farmland, where let's face it, the hunting in 100 times easier than the big woods of the South, East, and North....

I don't think it can be conveyed any better than what captain backstrap has said!In my original post about this I made comments about someone taken their 20th four pointer and how I would not be in agreement with that,I could have expressed that better,If someone treats the animal with respect and is not embarassed of it and is proud than I am okay with that.I know a number of very experienced bow hunters that go into panic mode if the season is winding down and they hav'nt shot "their buck" and they will shoot any antlered buck that comes along and then apologize to any one who will listen to their BS about it."I know I shouldn't have shot it but this but that".
For me personally I get fulfillment out of working at getting opportunities at bigger bucks.We are all ego driven,even those who have mastered complete humility conduct themselves that way to satisfy their ego,it satisfies them and makes them feel good to act in that manner.I believe the most important aspect of this is gratitude.If you choose to discuss that you were fortunate enough to kill a large buck,the gratitude and humility that is associated with how you discuss it are the most important elements!
If you are look at me aren't I great,that is a person that I would not want to be associated with.The people that consistently kill big deer but are reserved and humble about it are the hunters I most admire and likely the ones that I would most likely learn the most from.

Hey Atlas, it ends with Jack "The Joke" Brittingham letting 180+ bucks walk b/c they aren't 6 1/2 yrs old yet [:'(]

Well I gotta tell ya, as I sit here and enjoy a very tasty plate of 6.5 year old, 200 inch buck venison spaghetti I have enjoyed reading the productive debate on this topic and I can't help but think that this venison tastes so much better knowing it wasn't one of asslatman's button bucks for it would have taken 4-5 of them to equal the meat I got off this guy.

BTW...it aint easy to hunt themidwest...

NICE PICTURE

You know that callin atlasman what you did was very uncalled for. I think you are getting a little scared because this thread just didnt turn out quite the way you thought it would. There seems to be alot more people against you than you thought and now you dont really have much to say so you resorted to name calling which as far as im concerned shouldnt be tolerated on the forums. You are being very childish about this. People shoot what they want and take pride in it. Deal with it! Enought said! You said that you havent posted in a while right? Maybe you should go back to that. You really need to quit instigating.
