I think with all the land mangament and the new food plots etc. out there, bucks have become so much bigger and easier to find....except for me. So on a tv show when they don't find the biggest buck in the area, they "have to do" with the 8 or 10 pt.

He said that because if you had paid the $5,000.00 dollars he just did, you may feel entitled to a deer that makes your jealous friends and neighbors go "OOOOWWWW" a little louder.

How come die hard brown its downers are always the first and most long winded when it comes to Trophy Hunting???


......LOL........some of you guys just crack me up

Edited. I will assume double is correct.

Silent, I think Rack was referring to a certain WB loving, touting, defending brown its down fellow board member. Starts with A and ends with N. [8D]

I agree. I got sick and tired of turning on the TV on Sat. and Sun mornings to only see managed hunts in areas where most people can't afford to hunt. That's why we started HuntingFootage.com for us average Joes to show off our REAL hunts.

My personal opinion is that it is a good thing that there are hunters only interested in high scoring bucks. There will always be guys that just want a deer for the meat and always guys out for a trophy. As more and more guys pass up smaller bucks they provide more opportunities for the meat hunters. What I truly don't understand is the " meat hunters" that pass up the does and than shoot a young buck. If you have no use for the horns why not take a doe? Either way I am not upset when a hunter plays by the rules and regulations. I am happy when I hear of guys passing on 140 class deer. Only a fool would let others change their perception of what is a trophy in their own minds...........dabow

as bad as it sounds, they '' as in outfitters'' use this term"management buck" for a fine!
i don't understand how a 140'' deer is a management buck!
atleast that is what the guys at tamarac outfitters called it.

Silent - I didn't get to see your post but I asume it was...................well[>:]

I agree with your first post 100%

DC - what cha doing to me Mr. detective - now this post will drag on for 5 days.......I better get my "quote" finger ready


When a hunter or group of hunters have the land, the genetics, the time and the dedication to shoot what they see fit to shoot. Its not me now - but if the oportunity comes about - it might very well be.

What they, you, him, she, the tv shoots and regards a trophy should have no effect on what is a trophy to you or me. I don't feel sorry for guys who shoot bigger bucks or smaller bucks than me, or if they only shoot does or eat tag soup.

At what point in time did a meat hunter come up with the idea that a "trophy hunter" is miserable or unsatisfied when he does not shoot the biggest buck in the woods or the one he was after? And at what time was it decided that after a guy shoots a 160" that next years 130" is not just as much as a trophy?

Edit: After a good hot dinner I ahve become complacent, I will leave it at that

Rack,

It wasn't dramatic. I just asked if you were talking to me and if you were, to specify next time. Double pointed out that weren't talking to me so I didn't want to make something out of nothing so I edited.
