No, No, those deer simply do not exsit in your state. Thats a photo shop job for sure.:D:D

RE: Mature buck "Age structure" the "Great Equalizer"?
 

Chris....Greg's a taxidermist....a hunter....and a resident of our state (he lives about 1/2 hour from me). Him showing you that deer.....and people thinking they're all over the place down here......or even "somewhat" common........

Well.....that's about as realistic as looking at Jenny Finch....and thinking that's what all women softball players look like.

;)

RE: Mature buck "Age structure" the "Great Equalizer"?
 

They are few and far between but they do happen more often than most people think, especially since the "brown and down" mentallity is changing. I think that the next few years are gonna show some great changes for this state.



And Jeff, ANSWER YOUR PHONE. I called and left a message. I am gonna be in the shop working on a mulie, hollar at me. I would like to talk to you about deer aging (another post).

[/align]I struggle to understand why you post so many topics on this and similar issues?
[/align]
[/align]Help me understand what it matters if one state doesn't have bucks as big as another state?
[/align]
[/align]
Help me understand why you seem to want to compare yourhunting skills amongst others?
[/align][/align]
[/align]Help me understand how you have "no" big bucks on "your" land but they live every where else in your county?
[/align]
[/align]What would you say if someone in OH, IL, IA, KS, WI, MO,etcsaid the only reason they don't shoot large antleredbucksis because there are none on "THEIR" land. They know this from trail cams and stand sightings?

Mowtown, I agree. I don't care if he's on the teet, if he'sbig Im gonna try my best to kill him. Now here is where I disagree... you are right that the mid west has more, but the south is plentiful as well. I have an entire photo album and many deer heads from my house to many others that I hunt with to prove it. I will say the mid west has more big bucks, but not always the biggest. There are some here in Va and KY that would challenge any deer anywhere, anytime.

RE: Mature buck "Age structure" the "Great Equalizer"?
 

Dude...it's not meant to be a struggle.....just a question I posed.

Did you even read the opening post on the thread?

If you're tlaking about the 2 nctaxi posted.....they're not from my county. If you aren't....I have no freakin idea what you ARE talking about.....lol.

Honestly.....it's never happened!....:D I have NO IDEA what I'd say!

I wish you wouldn't struggle, though. That wasn't my intention.

RE: Mature buck "Age structure" the "Great Equalizer"?
 

Congrats on successfully skirting around each of my questions.

My questions were based on a culmination of thoughts from over time... No all from this thread.

OK Scott....I'll bite.....

I struggle to understand why you post some many topics on this and similar issues?

I believe this is my first post on this subject. If you'd care to cite others where I'm asking a similar question.....I'll re-adress your question. Fair enough?

I can't help you. It doesn't matter, to me, though.
[/align]
Help me understand why you seem to want to compare yourhunting skills amongst others?

Again....tell me where this comes from and I'll address it. What and where I hunt are a lot different than comparing skills.....and I'm smart enough to know that the size/age deer a man kills doesn't necessarily correlate with how much hunting "skill" he has;).

Help me understand how you know this to be true.

Actually....I answered this already. It's never happened.....lol.

Who are those "people"?

Some folks just can not be satisfied until they get what they want. In his mind he may think he leveled the playing field and the guy in Illinois does not. Funny how not everyone in the world are the same.:D

You have countless times addressed the age vs. inches debate. There is no denying that at all. Seriously.

Why is it always a point of discussion than?

This is only my opinion not knowing your personally,but I feel your competitive ego get's in the way at times. I am not going to dig through old posts to find a reply to throw at you, this is just something that I believe I have saw here from you onnumerous occasions.



[/align][/align]Help me understand how you have "no" big bucks on "your" land but they live every where else in your county?

Help me understand how you know this to be true.

In this very thread youspoke of the "big bucks" in your county... In other posts you mentioned seeing 140/150 bucksjust down the roadfrom your house..... The buck your coworker shot.. The buck your "poacher" neighbor shot... To name a few.

To take your own words....How can you prove this? How do you know many states over what ones land has?


Also, I have no intentions of arguing, not saying you do but, if it eludes to it.. I am out. I am not going that route.
