Badgergirl: No... but you're a hypocrite if you claim to support hunters, and you can easily do something to help them, but you refuse to do it - out of your own greed.

Like if you had the cure to cancer - but you just chose to give it to your friends.

You have the deer, you just pick and choose who gets to hunt them.

Are you really a "team player" if you're hording a limited resource - a resource which is in high demand? I don't think so.

I also don't think there's anything wrong with it. Greedy? Yes. Hypocritical? Absolutely. Just calling a duck a duck.

This post is about one thing

haves and have nots

I have a lot, and a lot more people have more than me I really don't care, I work hard and take care of my family. I help who I can, a lot people help more than some know. They just do not toot theur horn about it, which is the point

Create Fran world and let everything be free, let us know how that works out

I bet you have a pantry full of food right now thatis not goingto hungry people in your community. You must be rooting against them and hoping they starve to death, right?

If not, then your actions don't reflect your words.

I bet you have enough money to buy a Christmas present for one more poor child in your community. Do you hope they have a miserable Christmas too?

Come on guys, I still have some time left on my lunch hour. This is going to be a boring afternoon if you call a truce now. [8D]

We all know that trivial things like common sense and logic aren't needed in this place.

Wow, yet another chest thumping thread.

Fran, my question to you is how does turning somebody down from hunting your property (which you worked for and paid for) instantly causing them to have less luck throughout the season? Since when did turning somebody down instantly mean that their season was going to be a bust?

This whole post is a huge joke and partially why I haven't posted as much lately as I use to. With each season that passes I keep seeing more and more chest thumping egos starting up instead of just getting out and enjoying hunting. Why must everybody try to cut down others ways of hunting. One minute it is archers saying that they are superior hunters over rifle hunters, next its public land hunters saying they are superior hunters over private land hunters because it is harder. Baiting vs non-baiting. Deer drives vs stand hunters, ect.. Do you have to cut others down to make yourself feel better and to justify how you hunt? I have seen plenty examples in this post, all the comments about how an archer passes deer just to have your "one day wonder" shoot him with a rifle..... who in the world are you to criticize that hunters knowledge and accomplishments? That guy could have forgot more about deer hunting than you will learn in a lifetime, but you are so quick to judge him simply by his weapon choice. Thats just sad and pathetic.

Here is an idea..... forget what others are doing and just go hunt, trust me, it will be much more enjoyable when you decide to hunt for the enjoyment, not so you can thump your chest and proclaim yourself as the worlds greatest deer hunter, I am pretty sure Jackie Bushman has that locked up anyways

No, I don't root against gun hunters. I also hunt with a gun.
