eagle chickie, I think you're missing the point that everyone is trying to make here. Its hunting, not grocery shopping.

Makes a lot of sense, especially since your successes are so few and far between!

Nope, and the fact that I'm a moderator doesn't inhibit me from making correct decisions, that's why I was asked to be one and your absolutely correct for the first time ec, I am biased about not shooting button bucks on purpose, especially 5! I've asked it before, if it's so righteous, why don't you practice that same management on your family farm? AND, like BT asked, why didn't you claim them in the contest in the Archers Choice forum? I think we know all the answer to that one, ashamed?

ashamed??? of what, where have you ever read that I'm a horn hunter. I'm a DEER HUNTER!
Also if you'd taken the time to read "the score sheet" as you call the AC forum thread you'd see why I dropped out after killing kudu,gemsbuck,zebra,and warthog with my bow and only getting 4 pts while someone sitting in a treestand in Pa killed a small 6pt and got half as many pts.That guy was in his back yard and I was 10,000 miles from mine with 4 times the animals in the salt...pretty silly contest scoreing I think!

ya know yano,it's been a pretty good year.Didn't get a bear but did get a buck and enough grouse for a nice family meal.I love doing stuff with those grouse tails.

Super, I expect that other buck of yours was getting quite lonesome after all of those years for any sort of company!



Just you and the misses at home now, hey?

We're going to have us a grouse feast with my famous filling.Heck till this season is over I might even invite the neighbors.wanna come?
I serve new castle beer or whatever that stuff is you drink.

Sure, it's not everyday I can pick up a case of Newcastle Brown that is owed me and get to checkout truck damage at the same time!

ouch,stop poking me in the eye with that dang stick.
