Also, you may try to talk trash but you have NO IDEA how hard I have worked there over the last 5 years for it to flourish.... Your little doe thining project I have been there and done that..... Ittook me 3 years of shooting 0 bucks and numerous doeson this propertyto establish a good buck to doe ratio.
Fertilizing the Oak trees, setting mineral sites, brush hogging etc etc.... I didn't walk into this place I helped it into what it is today despite shareing this place with 3 other hunters Ifbig bucks are so easy to kill I wonder why none of them have ever shot anything but yearlings there [&:]

No one is saying you don't work hard but don't assume you are working harder than everyone else. Bush hogging, food plots, fertilizing land,trying to manage the herd....who doesn't do those things?Are thosenew ground breaking concepts? Of coursenot. Often it is not so much what is beingsaid but the tone or "percieved" tone of the person saying it. If you sound "holier than thou" or condescending oftenyour message is lost. Just because someones camo is not as fadedas yours doesn't mean they don't know what is going on.
I have know doubt you are passionate about hunting and know your way around the woods but so do a lot of other people young and old,newcomers and"expert"s andthose other people may not always agree with you or you with them but it (IMO) would be silly to think that "Well I have more experiencethan youso I'm right"is very convincing and that is kind ofwhat it sounds like.

They are in the end, just deer, nothing more, nothing less.
The difference between you and me Scott.....as in what we harvest every year......is where we live. I hunt my woods hard. If you think differently......then you're more elitist than I thought.
P&Y Entries since NINETEEN-EIGHTY....lol. Nope....Location has nothing to do with it. Let's all book us a monster whitetail hunt in Homestead.....or maybe Charleston!

Yea loosers always shoot the first buck they see...............
This from another thread.............
I'd say it's going pretty well here as well. When we aren't getting the farm ready for the season we've been spending the evenings just glassing the plots. Saturday there were nearly 40 deer that came out and atleast 15 of those were bucks, atleast 8 of thos were P&Y class animals.
You need to hunt harder if you want to kill mature bucks..

Would you consider a 13" unicorn to be mature? I guess it depends on location. But then again, they live everywhere, you just have to look harder.
