RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
ORIGINAL: HuntingBry ORIGINAL: BigJ71 ORIGINAL: HuntingBry I'm not trying to justify James' comment, because it was out of line IMO, but I do see what he is talking about all over PA as well. We travel from camp to camp talking to the other guys that hunt around us and ask what they've been seeing and they'll say things like, "We've seen a few little ones, but nothing for the wall." "There are no big bucks in this area." "All we see are mountain deer." Blah, blah, blah. Then when we go back to their camp in the evening of opening day we'd see a spiker or a forkie and even with ARs a little 1.5 year old basket six. That's fine, but don't say there are no big bucks around if you're not willing to let them get big. I've eaten my share of tags, and I'll continue to do so. That's my choice, but I also reserve the right to be a little pissed if someone is complaining about not seeing any big deer, but continues to shoot little ones. I won't even get started on the guys that have 2 or 3 licenses. If I could prove it happened they'd get turned in. That being said.........This wasn't the case, here James just posted a very rude comment about a picture that was posted with pride.....uncalled for.[:'(] As far as getting pissed, it's because I've tried what you said and made the subtle suggestions to pass on the little ones and offered some tips such as "get in the thick and nasty stuff, that's where the big ones are" and my attempt to help is met with resistance, excuses, and at times criticism of how I choose to hunt, and I wasn't complaining. So, I'm not pissed at them for how they choose to hunt, but more that they complain about a "problem" yet want to have nothing to do with the solution. |

RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
ORIGINAL: BigJ71 Yeah, I've been down that road myself. Sometimes your words fall on deaf ears and all you hear in return is excuse after excuse. It's at that point where I tell them "gook luck and I hope you kill a slammer next time" and part ways. I may be slightly bewildered and the resistance I met but I'm never upset or mad. Hell, I'm just happy to be out hunting, if the other folks aren't because they don't like what they're killing perhaps they should take up a different pastime....it's supposed to be fun. At the end of the day, I'm happy to just be out there hunting too. That's what it's all about anyway. |

RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
James,
Not only was your first post the worst post in history, your consecutive posts are PATHETIC. I don't know who you hunt with or around, but the deer camps I attend are full of hunters with character that do it the right way and......put in the work as you put it. They are full of people that would not tolerate your arrogant statements. You wrote......... I know that there are a lot of hunters out there that feel the same way I do, but I'm not afraid to say it. I might offend a few in the process, but that's fine by me. |

RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
ORIGINAL: Germ Looks to me like antler restrictions would make meat hunters happy since their return investment is actualy more meat! Is it the Meat, or just the need to kill something? Michigan is a 2 tag state, andsecond tag is 4pt or more on one side. I would like them to drop to one tag and keep the4pt on one side, it might actualy get back to the way it once was when I was a young man. The youth hunt would remain the same. Combo Tag with AR on both tags A hunter can buy an archery or a Gun tag. He can shoot just 1 buck, any size. Then he is done. I was suppose to be at this NRC meeting, do to the family issues with my MIL house buring down I was unble to attend. Add todays equipment to the mix and there is no wounder most bucks in this state never make it past a year and a half old. Years ago I sat in on a Fish and Game meeting in Ky and proposed that bowhunters to be able to harvest 2 deer with a bow or one with a bow and one with a gun and it was passed. It was a time when the deer herd could support such a law, thank goodness someone was smart enough to have it changed back when the numbers no longer supported it. We are way past due for a change in this state. I could go on for hours on this subject, but wont be able to sleep tonight. One Buck and Doe tags where needed. |

 LOL, Ok I'm done....sorry duke,couldn't resist....:) |
RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
For me, I shoot whats available. If I know there are several 140 class bucks on one property then thats what I set my goals on. If the biggest bucks on the property are100 class bucksthen thats what I go after. If a bigger one comes by than even better. For me its all about whats cruisng my woods, but I cant deny bigger and older is more challenging and more desireable, if a 100" buck fits that description than Im all over it.

RE: Question for "mature buck" advocates
ORIGINAL: mnbirddog Can someone please explain why it is that a lot of guys that will only shoot what they consider mature bucks feel that their demands outweigh those of people who don't care about the size of the antlers. I just want to shoot a couple deer a year (with hopefully one a buck). How big it is is not generally a factor (if I have two in front of me and can shoot either, I would try to shoot the bigger one). I would rather shoot a buck every year than a bigger one every couple years. Sure it would be nice to shoot a big one every year, but that doesn't happen to very many people. After reading the "what did you learn" post, it seems that there are several people who didn't get a chance at a "shooter" or big enough buck, and so didn't take one. And some people don't get a chance at any buck (though likely much of that is time spent in the stand). Wouldn't you have prefered to shoot one of the "lesser" bucks, than nothing?? Help me understand... It really doesn't make any sense to me, especially with a bow. Dan |
