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.
Totally uncalled for. Grow up!!!!

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?
Atlas...Atlas...Atlas here ya go again

Ive got one piece of advice and one only: Try living here in Illinois or Iowa, gaurantee your perception would change entirely! You consider yourself a avid hunter so why do u have to resort to filling your table with button bucks? If you know everything about the sport then you would think you would want the wall decorated too!?!?

This entire QDM garbage started out in Texas on these million dollar ranches
Yup, and we are damn proud of that. But now we have moved onto TDM, which is hopefully where the rest of the country is heading. It only gets better

Wow, you are completely missing the whole point. What (if you have a clue) is involved in taking a mature buck? It takes time put forth scouting, practicing, hanging stands to become successful. It takes hours put forth on stand to get just that right one to show and pattern him throughout the season. It all ends up to being an addicting challenge in the end. Its this drive that keeps ya going hunt after hunt after hunt. No one said bowhunting isnt a challenge, those that do are people like yourself.

Ive got two questions to ask you, first- how can you consider it a challenge taking the first deer that walks by you? If that was the case, my tag would be completely filled within the first few weeks, and my season would be OVER just as it started. To be honest with you, I wouldnt be typing this now if I was on that track of mind, I would be so bored of hunting by now.

2nd question, just how can you continue to enjoy & spend your "whole" seasons "trying" to fill your tags with each and every deer that passes by. Wow that should be a short boring season for ya right there? Do you not see enough deer to fill your tag each month!!?

I think you should try looking at the whole picture, in the end it looks much nicer on the wall.

Its funny how the guys who preach "let them go so they can grow", like myself, are the guys who live and hunt in the best states in the country for trophy whitetails. The guys who love to kill bambi and cant go a season with out killing something, anything, as long as it has horns are the guys who live and hunt in the less desirable places. And it seems lthat its the older guys who cant stand QDM and the younger guys are the ones pushing for it.

You are still nibbling on the meat you got from 1 deer??



What's wrong??.........don't like the taste of venison??

What a surprise that the meat you are eating is grind


We went through over 600lbs of venison this year wolfy.........so contemplate that while you are holding your nose and trying to choke down that pasta from a deer you killed almost a year ago []


Still milking the meat from 1 deer a year later........that is priceless.


Don't get all crazy and shoot 2 this year or it will get freezer burn for sure

I lived in Iowa for 4 years and I have never killed a button buck in my life......and I have deer on my wall.

So I guess I have already taken your advice


Thanks.
