I'll take you down like Rodney King, Germ. Don't push me. I swear - I'll come at you like a spider monkey.

Rybo,

Theyhelp me make it thru threads like these without running screaming into the woods. But it would be easier on my liver to drink a better quality beer like Guiness. If you were truely supportive of me, you would send me a case of it.

I wish you the best in finding some guiness, excellent beer and worth the liver damage

. But sorry I am too greedy to send you any.

Good luck, oh wait, Umm I don't know to say anymore

Sure, now we say, " Good luck but, don't hunt where I want to hunt and don't shoot the deer I want to shoot.". LMAO

I would let someone go after the 12 pointer hanging around my land for a case of Guiness. Would that be supportive or selfish.[:-]

My point is..... that you probably still wish the poor and hungry kids in your community all the best. You hope they are happy and don't starve and have a fun Christmas. But there is a line you draw...you can't help them all. Just because you draw a line does not make you a hypocrite. You genuinely wish them the best and you support them...you just aren't willing to open your doors to eveyone. Nothing wrong or hypocritical about that.

The same is true when it comes to supporting fellow hunters. It is possible to wish them all the best and support them, without being a hypocriteif you don't allow the masses to hunt in your stand. I think there is somesimilarity there.

Here we are at page 19 or 20 of a thread full of posts fromgrown "educated"men, and it's a young lady, still in school who makes the best point.

No, you don't HAVE to give up your best hunting spot or allow everyone and their brother on your land to be truly supportive of your fellow hunters or to"root" for them.

I would like to see everyone who enters the woods come out feeling satisfied with their days hunt, gun or bow hunter. If that meant killing a slammer or a dink or a doe so be it. Even if they didn't kill anything at all but just enjoyed another day on this wonderful planet. I'm Happy for them and I wish them all the luck. Just because I don't open my doors or my land to each and everyone of them doesn't make me a hypocrite.

The problem (as I see it) is folks put way too much importance on deer hunting and lose sight of the big picture......it's supposed to be fun!!

I've said it before but it bears repeating. NOBODY on this forum NEEDS to hunt to live, if you did you have no business spending money on Internet access, computers, cameras, etc.... We ALL do this for fun. No matter how you try to dissect it or spin it we do this for our recreation.

If you can't have good will for another person trying to enjoy the same pastime as you....you've got your priorities screwed up and major problems.

My post is not directed to anyone in particular, I'm just stating what I feel.

If deer mean THAT much to you that you can't be happy for another hunter, I feel sorry for you......I truly do.

No I don't root against "gunners" I'm one of them too....I don't "root" against anyone trying to enjoy themselves, it would make me a shallow, close minded,bottom feeding, troll of an individual. It's not how I want to live my life and it's not how I'm raising my children.
