just in awe of the logic that is posted by some people whom grew up hunting pre HR,AR, youth days,etc. that think without their kids getting special treatment they will drop out of hunting...plain BS

why not just take the kid to a shooting preserve if all they need is a kill to keep them involved???????
why not teach them properly that it IS NOT THE KILL that is important?????? But the hunt!
Could be a reflection of the parent's view that the horns and kill are the reason sportsmen hunt. Typical "the ends justify the means" generation logic...sad very sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real sad that some fathers just don't see what they are doing to the kids. Putting the kill before the experience of the hunt. Or trying to teach a child that if the antlers on a buck aren't XXXX big that it is not worthy of a kill. Sad very very sad!

My son asked me that if a buck came along, how many points should it have for him to want to take it. I said 1 point, at least 3 inches long. He looked at me kind of puzzled. I told him that as a young hunter, he should not set too high a standard for success. That trophy hunting comes along after years of success and is something that every individual decides for himself. I said that I would be the happiest man in the world if he was to harvest ANY legal buck (junior hunter) and would consider that buck, no matter how small, to be the greatest trophy of my entire hunting life... He said "Oh, ok Dad"

Real sad is an old man with nothing better to to than try his best to stir up controversy where there shouldnt be one. It's even sadder when he has to sign on under anothre name just to agree with himself!

trying to elicit a negative response once again?????
I made a post as a compliment to another poster (livbucks) why or how does that invole you? Unless of course you are stirring the proverbial pot. I think the mods should pick up on that!

RE: Deer management in PA
 

I certainly hope they do! Of course I hope they check all posts and isp's for all of us as well.

I get alittle confused on here,it seems like everybody is responding to germain.I figured it out after seeing somebody talkin about an old man.That aint me.:D

RE: Deer management in PA
 

When you respond the first time its generally to the intended person but after that, every post in tat thread seeems to be in response to that same person.

Just a little glitch on the forum. Still a great forum though!

Well said U, just goes to show that we don't need to see 30 deer a day to have a good day hunting.;)
