RE: PA antler restriction
 

I agree that anyone that mourns the filling of their buck tag during archery is more than just a bit odd.

I often walk around during the concurrent season without a gun trying to push deer to other members of my family and I enjoy it just as much as if i was carrying a gun. So ,does that make me a superior, ethical hunter for putting other hunters success above my own?

RE: PA antler restriction
 

I actually approach archery the same way as you Livbucks, I love the whole season so much that it has to be a special buck to letan arrow go. Hunting season as I've said before is the only time I see some of my extended family. So I don'tsee anything wrong with your approach.

Oh and by the way, I'm in for the passed buck picture thread!!

Could it be you have misplaced prioirties?

Bluebird do you realize what a warped miserable old man your writings make you look like? What is wrong with you?

RE: PA antler restriction
 

Whitetail, thanks. I know many that approach it the same way you andI do. The passed buck thread...let's do it.
The prize aspect will be more ceremonial than anything. It's all on the honor of sportsmen (women), so we should have no problem. Maybe BB will join in also. I haven't given up hope of bringing him into the fold, and the light.

I told you before you were wasting your time trying to insult me, but I see you are not one to take advice. You would accomplish a lot more for you're cause if you could provide a study that showed that implementing ARs, improved breeding rates and productivity while shortening the breeding period. The fact that you can't do it just shows that ARS are about trophy hunting as was make clear in the article about WVA.

RE: PA antler restriction
 

Why would I join in ,in a rigged competition. You can pass on 10 pts. and still expect to be successful because you have so many deer. All I'm seeing is the occasional non-legal 1.5 and if a legal buck happens to walk by ,I certainly won't be taking his pic. If I played your game of passing legal buck , I might as well leave my bow at home .

RE: PA antler restriction
 

BB2, I feel sorry for you man. Hopefully some day you can be positive about one thing.

RE: PA antler restriction
 

I'm already positive about one thing and that is that ARs is the worst way to improve the buck age structure. And , there is no need to feel sorry for me . I learned a long time ago that it is better to face reality and accept it ,than live in fantasy land and be disappointed when those fantasies didn't come true.

Even though our hunting isn't as good as it should be ,I still spent the afternoon building a stand for a brother-in-law that is too old to use a climber or ladder stand. And if you want something positive , I now put bird feeders at all our stands which makes every hunt a lot more entertaining for all. Even if we don't see deer, at the end of the day we can always compare notes on the birds we saw and when they were active. It's a hoot to have a bird fly so close you can feel the breeze from their wings or to have a chickadee land on the brim of your hat..
