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:D

Maybe because some of us have opinions based on well thought out facts and experience...............not arrogance and a desire to put a label on everyone who doesn't hunt like they do.

Your condescending use of the label "Brown and downer" not only shows both your ignorance and arrogance............but also that you consider that term derogatory.......big surprise.

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. :D:D:D[8D]

What the hell does liking a WB rest have to do with anything?? Yea, I'm the only guy out there that likes that rest right?? :eek:

The funniest thing of all is that you two use the term "brown it's down" as an insult...........yet piss and moan like a kid whenever someone even uses the word trophy.

Look up hypocrisy in the dictionary and see if it rings a bell.

Where did anyone in this thread say anything bad about trophy hunters??

The main point of many posters here is that like it or not the media does influence attitudes of hunters out there today............especially young ones. When a 130-140 class buck is taken and the hunter seems almost disappointed that he had to settle for a management buck it paints an unrealistic picture for the viewers/readers and makes what they get to do on fall weekends seem trivial.

No one is questioning your skills, or your work ethic, or how much better you are then all the rest of us slob brown and downers. We all know how great you are............because you tell us every chance you get.

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.

That is fine when done in private.............but when you portray this image out in the media you are now forcing your personal beliefs on others as the "right" way to do it.

What a surprise that you included "time and dedication" in your description............we know Rack, we know.............you work harder and are more dedicated then everyone else combined. No need to tell us another 100 times.

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.

It shouldn't but it does............people in general are very influencial........target marketing is proof of that. When all you see on TV and in print tells you the same thing many people will start to believe it. In the end it isn't even about big bucks deer..........it's about big bucks money. The more they can convince people that the only reason they are not killing freakzilla is they need more gadgets and better equipment..........the more people will consume. Cha-Ching.

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?

the same time you decided that every meat hunter sits in his stand and wishes they were you.

Quote:

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?

When you see people talking like they had to "settle" for the smaller management 130". This was covered in the first post. Why else would someone show less enthusiasm over a harvest unless they really wanted something "better"

Reading through this post, I'm with you, Double Creek. I think a guy who stands over any deer he's killed, and feels the need to denigrate it, or trump up fake excitement probably needs to find a new hobby. I consider myself an aspiring trophy hunter, having killed some nice bucks in recent years, but I completely agree that we can create the optimal, genetically superior, robobuck to kill, and suck the very soul out of hunting in the process. Hunting should be about meat in the freezer, and if you've got time on your hands to play around at trophy hunting in the process, great!
