Pringntiz doe kill article issue
 

I dont know if im wrong here or taking his article wrong but its seems that article was about killing just to kill. Your thoughts?

(We’ve been hard at it now for about 11 days in the Iowa late season. While we’ve seen some deer, the hunting has been pretty tough. Crazy warm temperatures this late in the year have completely shut down the activity. With a long streak of sitting and not shooting, or even getting any good visuals of shooters, I was ready to kill. Earlier this week, I was presented with an opportunity to take a nice doe, and I took it. I hadn’t planned on shooting a doe, but when she showed, it was on!)

Then the part its all about the camera stinks.

Just my little opionion which I am entitled too, if offended sorry but were allowed it.

Sometimes you feel it's about the kill. After seven days? Yeah ,I'd probably feel the same way. Hunters don't take enough does anyway so shooting the doe is no problem. Choice of words, Lots of guys use the word "kill". No problem with it!

Farmers harvest. I kill.

Todd(AKA The Lone Wolf) is a very knowledgeable hunter and great guy. We have liberal doe tags here in IA and yes, there are days after sitting and not seeing anything, like this freaky warm weather is causing here,that the hunter in me just needsto kill something. Does need harvested and yes, I can relate.

Pringnitz is one of the only hunters blogs I actually follow.. he seems like a great guy and hunter. I can relate to his frustrations after going the entire season without a buck sighting except on my game cam [:@]

Hey Guys,

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to comment on this or not, but I'll tell you what I meant when writing this article.

I shoot does every year. Usually I wait until I have filled my buck tag, but because the lack of sightings, and just general frustration of this late season, when the doe showed up, I just realized at that moment that it would be a great opportunity to fill a doe tag. Please realize, we haven't even been seeing many does at close range, so it's not like we can kill one whenever we want. This particular area really needs some does killed, so that's what was on my mind when she popped out.

I'm a big venison fan. Back in Michigan I fed my family, extended family, and friends with venison every year. Because I live in a small apartment with ZERO freezer space, I usually donated the meat to the HUSH program here in Iowa in the past. Now, a friend has some freezer space for me, so we're filling it to live on for the rest of the year. I cut-out the tenderloins and we already ate them, talk about delicious!

Sorry if I irritated anyone in-regard to the "kill" I discussed. I didn't mean to give the impression that all I care about is "killing stuff". I just wrote it, and didn't think much about it to be honest with you. Believe me, there is not a hunter on earth that loves these animals more than myself, and I would never disrespect any kill purposely. So I appologive if I came off as a "killer" and not a hunter.

If you guys ever see the video, you will see dozens of bucks I've passed up this season because they weren't big / old enough. If I was a killer, I'd be done by now, with 2 additional bucks on-video! Instead, it's looking like we'll have some doe kills. Regardless, I can guarentee you one thing, not a single ounce of meat will go to waste - ever!

Thanks for taking the time to write!

Thanks for the reply Todd. I read your journal entries like the bible even since the tree shredder

He killed a deer with a legal tag, what more is there to discuess?

Someday the witch hunt must stop, were only hurting ourselves[:@]

Todd, nice doe and congrats!!!

RE: Pringntiz doe kill article issue
 

No appologies are necessary IMHO. I look into the field journals every now and then and I really like Todd's entries. It appears that he is very dedicated and has made a decison to make hunting the center of his life.

RE: Pringntiz doe kill article issue
 

I didn't get the feeling that he was killing just to kill at all. To me someone that kills just to kill is the trophy hunter that only cares about the size of the rack. They don't care about the meat and donate it just for something "positive" to do. And I don't mean the guys that work hard to make that kill. I mean the ones that shop for trophy deer at "STAX 'o RAX". Where trophys are always available and price is determined by size! I guess I shouldn't call those guys trophy hunters I should call them, "Large racked deer killers". I don't want to condemn anyone that HUNTS by legal means so I'll just talk bad about the "killers". I sure don't think Lone Wolf falls into that catagory.
Was that a rant?
