Quotes taken out of context are so "bush league".

Right, Hillbilly?

Your not going to gat one of those racks.

Brothel you pay you get what you pay for HF same thing.

There's a confident hunter!.....lol

Ummm.....Why not? Captive audience......target-rich environment.........Great genetics......a true hunter's paradise!

If indeed he does succeed and takes a 150 class deer, then, this deer will be his first deer (buck anyway) shot with a bow. What does he have to look forward to? That, for most, is a once in a lifetime chance. My point is, any other deer that he shoots "by a more natural means" would never compare and would never completely fulfill his thought of a successful hunt. The "deer farm", IMO, would spoil his hunting career. This was the same thought that was handed down to me by my uncles when I first started hunting. Iwas in awe of their deer compared to my very first deer, a fork horn. They told me that I wouldn't even want to shoot that deer in my first year because almost every other year would be a disappointment.I hope this makes sense. I'm a hunter and not a writer.

Puke!!! This whole crap just makes me sick.

Jeff, do you think it's ok to go on a HF hunt?

If you do, talk to your son and let him decide. If you don't, don't even bring it up to him.

It undoubtedly is not yet your son's decision, or you would not have asked for our opinions. You are having to ask yourself, and us, what you should do, or would do.

Actually you are not really allowing him to decide at all. You are questioning the whole thing and probably thinking the whole time, you are making a mistake. So why even bother. You know you really don't want him to go. Why give him the option right now. When he gets older and decides to or not to, then you will be able to see if you had an influence anyway.

you seem to have a problem with the baiting thing too Jeff. Is this an inner desire of yours to defend something you may want to do? I mean, every time something comes up that others are against, you come up with "the Double Standard" stuff. You know it is not a double standard. HF is a horn porn bonanza and you know it and so does everyone else here. Baiting is not entrapment no more than hunting under a White Oak or in a Honeysuckle patch. It is an "Attractant". HF is an Entrapment. Period.

Coming home and hunting, here. ANYTHING you say about what someone else might or might not do .....is pure conjecture. He's a well-grounded young man.

Exactly.

Let me come clean here....

He'll damn sure KNOW that a yearling doe taken in our woods, here, is a FAR greater "trophy" than ANYTHING he could ever take from there. If I thought for a second he couldn't understand that......I wouldn't mention it to him. He's (and so do I) got a lot more common sense than he's getting credit for. Approached with this possible endeavorcorrectly....my 8 yr old nephew does, also. If we go....it'll be what it is. A novelty.

I don't think there's a person in these forums that thinks the talks we'd have wouldn't instill this fact. I was telling Critr, earlier....that "my" gut tells me he'll probably decline the offer. But if he doesn't....and he still wants to go.....I'll take him. He won't leave the house with any false delusions, though. He'll be going to shoot a deer. Period.

It's free....and if he wants to go and take a deer 'ol pops will likely NEVER SEE, here.....I won't deny him that.

It's not illegal. No onewill be hurt during the process.

Reading 22 pages of back and forth. It sounds to me like you already had your mind made up prior to posting the question.

I wish you and your son the best of luck in which ever route you decide to take.

Sounds very confusing. Actions speak louder.

There's nothing "confusing" about it, hillbilly......unless you have an agenda or you can't read.

Ialso stated that I'd have WHATEVER he shoots mounted for him, this year. If that's a doeor a buck, here....so be it. If it's a buck, there.....so be it.

How's that confusing?

same women that are in the brothels
they just sleep with the same old hunter everyday.
