RE: Antler envy and hunter hate.
Think back to your last kill. Do you recall the rush? Did you jump up and down? did you do a fist pump thingy? Did you throw your arms up in the air? Did you let out a yell? Did you simply get a warm glow?
What was the very next thing you did? I'll bet most of you thought" I gotta call my buddies and tell them". Alot of guys even text right from the spot of the kill.
Why? We want to share our excitement with our buddies.
I think we need to get back to sharing our excitement with our buddies. Remember how you felt when it was your turn. Remember that everyone else feels this way and share that excitement with them. Some say "I wish I could bottle that feeling" You can't, but you can share it!

I'm not singling you out, BRY....as I suppose this isn't your feelings, alone. I just have never felt this way.
ALL we can do is hunt the lands we have to the best of our abilities......and if we're to be "judged" on what we take....that HAS to play in. It's the ONLY thing that has any merit.
I've never seen one deer/hunter in here I was jealous of. Do I wish I could see the animals some of you guys see? Sure. But jealous.....I'm not. I have wonderful grounds.
PLEASE don't think I was singling you out. I wasn't, at all.
I will be the first to admit I am jealous as heck at some of the bucks I see on here and wish I could get access to property to held such beasts.

So, while I say I'm jealous it is without malice. I think to want the best is human and to feel envy of those that have the best is also human, but when you let that envy consume you to have ill will toward someone else that is when your own personal insecurities come in.
Oh, and BTW, no worries on singling me out. Being singled out for good discussion is never a bad thing.
