RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
While I don't agree with the Manner in which James posted,I do know many people who shoot multiple small bucks every season and complain about not seeing any big bucks.It has been that way in my home area for years and years.Guy's filling their tags their wife's tags with 1 1/2 year old bucks,and then bragging on all the bucks they have killed.
It get's pretty frustrating.

I hate bucks that run around acting all silly and stuff. Chasing their tails and making fart jokes, so immature I just can't stand it. That's why I take them out.

I won't speak for David....but the question could be asked (I think I understand his POV).....
Are the people who CAN do what is described above in pursuit of trophy whitetails able to do so because they're single and have fewer ties.......OR......are they singleand have fewer ties BECAUSE they do this.
Move to another state just so you can trophy hunt? Now that ladies and gentlemen is truly having no life outside of hunting. That group of people would be so small. I'd give up hunting tomorrow for the betterment of my family. No way would I make a life decision based on Trophy hunting. That really is a narrow, selfish way to run your life. That wouldn't be admirable... it would be pitiful.

What difference does it make? Who are we to judge anyone on their life decisions? The questions were asked in general terms and I'm not going to break them down into what ifs. If someone is living their dream, I'm happy for them, not declaring them to be pathetic.

Worst post in history? I doubt it. Harsh, I'm sure it was.
When you travel to as many deer camps as I do, see as many dinks shot as I do, and hear as many complaints from people not seeing or shooting big bucks as I do you will see where I am coming from. It just so happens that the vast majority of the ones who complain about not ever seeing, much less shooting a mature buck are the ones that are pulling the trigger on the first spike buck that crosses their path.
But it doesn't end there, because they are also the same people that have their wives purchase a license after they tagged out on the first spike that walked by, just so they can have another opportunity on another spike or fork. Then come to me in January and talk about how bad of a season it was, and how there are not any big bucks around. Get real. Do work.

And if your pals or acquaintances are shooting deer on their wives' tags then why are you not turning them in toyour game warden? Sounds like you are part of the problem.
And your attempted justification of your insulting post is bogus, because the person who posted the picture of all the "dinks" was never complaining about not seeing big bucks. He was the original poster whomade it clear that heis more than happy to shoot a young buck...never complained about not seeing big bucks. He actually complained aboutpossibly being forced toshoot mature bucks only. Nice try...go toot your horn somewhere else.

Tell us oh Mighty One, exactly how many deer camps do you travel to? And exactly how many "dinks" do you see shot? And exactly how many complaints about not seeing big bucks do you hear from people? And how on earth could you possibly assume that any of that mattersor that your numbers are higher than other membersof this forum. Ignorance truly is plentiful, especially among those who areas in love with themselves as you clearly are.
And if your pals or acquaintances are shooting deer on their wives' tags then why are you not turning them in toyour game warden? Sounds like you are part of the problem.
