RE: DD scores again ... #10
Good Grief!!! This blows my mind! Who cares what DD or anyone else shots? Small Buck, Button Buck, Doe, yearling doe? Why is it necessary to always have something negative to say? If someone takes the time to share a story with us about a kill.......big or small, they are obvisously somewhat proud of it.............as they should be. Tha attitudes from some on this board are pompass and just plainmoronic. DD, I would not appologize to anyone. Your response IMO was accurate. As I said, I don't care what he shoots. I just think it is rather comical to hear someone (not necessarly DR.D)talk about how there are no "trophys" around when they are flinging lead at a half dozen young bucks a year. It isn't an attitude. It was stating the obvious. These two photos below were shot by two of my buddies on my properties this year. These photos show that I am not againstpeople killing bucks that aren't "trophy" caliber. Just because Ipassed on these bucks doesn't mean the next guy should have to. I was estatic for the both of them. It was Franks second best buck and Chucks best to date. I keep a good buck to doe ratio on my farms and taking some bucks along with the does off the property is a must. Things get rather violent when the buck to doe ratio gets to low. Broken tines, winter kill and gouged bucks become to frequent. [/align] My buddy Frank to the left then myself. A perfect example of a managment buck. 5 1/2 years old, small body and and a mediocre rack.  My Buddy Chuck. A perect example of a slammer in the making aged 2 1/2.  |
RE: DD scores again ... #10
i think that people should lay off eachother. first of all when you guys make someone so unconfortable because of all your critisim that he cant post a picture of his deer unless it's above the best then you are not using this site the right way. this is a site that people should get encouragement and praise for the deer that they shoot. i think that dd should be able to post a pic of any deer tht he pleases, as should anyone. you guys are pushing the limits of people and noone should appologise for calling people punk, just because you were pushed over the edge and punk was one of the easiest words that you could have put down. so people stop calling names, encourage eachother, and POST PICS! noone should be critisided to the point of hiding their deer. any deer is a trophy deer to the hunter. please just show some courtesy to eachother from now on. thank you

Everyone has an opinion and everyone is entitled to an opinion. In order for your opinion to be respected, you must respect the opinion of others. That doesn’t mean you have to agree.
DD,[/b] Providing food for a family other than yours is a noble act of generosity. My hat is off to you sir. You are well within the legal limits of your State. There are plenty of other families that would appreciate your generosity. Use your skills, harvest the earth’s food, and feed all that you can. ;) |
RE: DD scores again ... #10
Well thanks guys ... I shot this buck this morining because he had a buggerd up horn across his head ... had a good body but just a cow horn one one side and then this odd horn that went accross his head and actually was pressing into his skull ..he had to be misrable ...had a big knot directly behind the odd horn ... but he will eat good ...if you guys really want to see it I suppose I can post a pic but its nothing special.

Hey DD,
By the looks of the rack? on that deer’s head, the first thing that comes to mind is; “All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names” I think you did him a favor!!;) |

RE: DD scores again ... #10
Congratulations on your 10th deer remember your season isn't over yet and you may take a couple more. I hunted alabama 6 times back in the early to mid 90's. I thought it was a great place to hunt nothing like getting away from the cold north east to a state with a more moderate climate. I always got a kick when I left NY with 2 feet of snow and flew into montgomery airport and seethem mowing the lawn. Idid all my hunting at the various lodges down in the black belt area and 5 out of 6 times the accomodations were great and the game plentiful. One thing though i could never get use tothat red clay/mud that alabama seems to have all over the place. If everything goes as planned I should be back down there in january '07 for a 3 day hunt.

RE: DD scores again ... #10
Looks like that deer was probably insane from the horn growth. Probably runnin around in circles, or caught in the fense. That's why he was easy enough for you to kill..................I'm kidding of course.:D
I've seen some wierd horn growth before and that one is right up there. Don't think you'd ever have to worry about him turnin' in to a "trophy". Other than the fact that he was already a trophy in many respects. I think someone pointed out that they'd seen cows with similar afflictions. I have seen it in cows too. When I growing up on our farm, we actually cut the horns of several cows that were chronically growing into their head and would have resulted in death. I don't think it would happen in dear, but am unsure, because of the antler being slightly softer while its still in the growing stage then hardening up.Probably would have been an even more twisted mess if he made it next year though.good job |
RE: DD scores again ... #10
I hunted Red Oak twice, White Oak twice, Macon county Guide service and Master Rack. The Master Rack hunt wasn't good as they had an 8 point minimum but did not penalize you if you shot something smaller. The other lodges fined you $500.00if you took a sub-standard buck since they had a management plan in place(8 point or 16 inch inside spread was the minimum you could shoot). I undertsand now that Master rack is under new ownership and they have a similiar management plan in place. Master rack was fine for the reason they let you hunt 3 full days whereas the other places the hunts startedin the afternoon on the first day, then 2 full days, then a morning hunt and off to the airport. i may check out Master rack again but I can't make any definite plans until early summer as I just started a new job.

[blockquote]quote: ORIGINAL: Bionicrooster [blockquote]quote: BHF I understand your question BUTwhy should I ..not being facetious but why should I not shoot what I want to shoot ....just because you or someone else on here does not approve? [/blockquote] DD, I think some of the criticism on this thread may have been carried over from the thread (sick,sick,sick) where you were upset with someone for shooting a young deer (and I think it was only his 1st or 2nd in his life, and you got 10 this year), and yet you say you aren't choosy with what you shoot because you can't manage the land you hunt. I could care less what you shoot, thats just the impression that I got about it. [/blockquote] Bion as usual you pick and choose what you want to read ...first of all as the "sick SICK SICK" post explainedhe was a guest on the property ...he was a 35 year old grown man NOT a child..I gave himCLEAR instructions as to what not to shoot ...the deer he shot might have weighed 40 lbs ...and had you read ALL this thread you would have seen where I am "choosy" as I do not shoot yearlings ...button bucks or doe's with their yearlings ... I do not mind you posting your opinion but have all the facts in hand before you make a remark ... dd DD, please reread my post. I was telling you the impression I got as to why you were getting a hard time about shooting a young buck, that being that you were upset with someone else for shooting a young deer on your property.... I have stated more than once I don't care what you shoot or anyone else for that matter, we all hunt for our own reasons... So don't get defensive with me, and "have all the facts in hand before making a remark"... |
RE: DD scores again ... #10
ORIGINAL: DoctorDeath I will not be posting a picture of this buck simply because it is not a "trophy" and I do not want to be reported to the "trophy police" on here dd |
RE: DD scores again ... #10
Holy cow!
Is it11 now? Well I better hurry to congratulate you before you bag another one! That was an odd set of antlers. Worth of showing for sure! And as discussed earlier I absolutely agree that it requires a large piece of land to be able to do proper deer managment. I found that NY Bow made a good point when stating that with good neighbors it can be done even for smallholdersand I see it sometimes, rarely. It is a really hard blow however to find out that even one neighbor is not a good one. So congrats again!:) |
