I'm not a trophy hunter in the sense that you described, but my heart beats faster the bigger the deer gets. That's human nature. It's also easier for someone from IL to criticize trophy hunters when you actually get to see deer that look like the ones plastered all over the magazines and tv shows. I haven't hunted in AL, but I don't think the mags and tv shows are representative of the deer herd there.

Well said Fill... I think it obvious what we might find asa "trophy" in Alabama would not measure up to the guys up north ... and just so everyone knows if they don't already my frustration ended in a LARGE way with the buck I took in Canada last year that scored in the 180's ...

Could someone plaese help me get this rope from around my neck?

All I was trying to say was that sometimes when we wonder why, we just need to hit reset.

By the way, I printed that poem awhile back and it is taped on the side of my computer tower. There ain't anything else taped up on this desk.

Hey, what's that stabbing pain in my back?

DD--I appreciate your poem, and have experience your frustration many times. I like the interfacing that is happening here. Grown men able to communicate and work out misunderstandings, that's always a good thing. Me , being one that lives by my faith and one that also loves to hunt, I understand where you and UM are coming from, especially now that it has been clarified. Hunting does involve sacrifice and I believe is a reflection of the greatest sacrifice ever. It is also something that has been given to us a means to provide food and, before the advent of Levi's, clothing. Yet, I also am convined that an 'enjoyment factor' was added into the mix by the Lord, and that is why we each have so much pleasure involved in every aspect of this lifestyle we call hunting.We have the privilege of taking in, in a very unique way that the antis will never comprehend, all that creation offers us in the way of beauty, adventure,camaraderie, and the thrill of the hunt.

manuman - well said. UM - I didn't intend for my post to be as harsh as it may of come off. Not knowing that you had previously read DD's poem, I thought your post was an initial reaction to the poem. After further review, I know where you are coming from. No hard feelings!

IS THIS A GREAT SPORT OR WHAT?
