And I stand by what I said....if that deer didn't have antlers on it's head it wouldn't be an issue.
its not about being "right" or "ethical". you are missing the point. it just wouldnt be fun. in my opinion, you would be killing it for the sake of killing it. its not the hunting experience that you think of in your head every night before the next mornings hunt.

There's nothing wrong with hunting for fun. But if you're hunting for fun, then why do you need a weapon? Do you like the thrill of kill? Is that what you mean?

No, I kill for the sake of eating it. The hunting experience I think of brings home meat for the freezer.

To hunt, by definition is searching for prey to kill or capture. Hunting IS killing, plain and simple.

If I only hunted just to get some meat, I would seriously have to dead broke and be living off the land to survive. I love the excitement of hunting. Its not a necessity in my life. Its a leisure activity that I was raised to enjoy. I buy into the calls and attractants and gear and all the crap that goes with it because I enjoy hunting. To me its a sport and shooting a damn deer right out my back door aint sporting.

But not everyone is like that. Some of us fill the freezer so we don't have to buy beef and can use that money for other things we enjoy. It's also healthier and more beneficial without all the crap they use to make cows bigger to slaughter and sell faster.

I'm with you on the "buying in" to everything. I can't pass one up because it may be the "one" that brings the deer in. Can't argue with you there.

To you it isn't. But, not everyone feels the same way about the hunt. Honestly, I climb a tree in my climber sometimes and sleep more than I'm awake. I may miss some deer, I may not. But, when opportunity knocks I'm nocking an arrow or pulling a trigger. Not everyone "hunts" the same. To me, doghunting isn't sporting or ethical...and you can't convince me that all the adrenaline does venison any good. Even so, I'm not going to beat down those who doghunt the right way because that's their choice. Passing judgement on the legal choices of others isn't right and shouldn't be done. You "hunt" your way for your reasons, just as others do. That doesn't make their way wrong or right, just a different way.

Nice Deer UM, I can see your point. Id be in the same boat. Maybe if I was set up in a tree a few days later in that general area and he came in, then he might not be so lucky!

I know how it feels though. I posted this a few days ago on someones post. Saturday afternoon and this one comes rolling through the backyard. It just not fair!!!

Nice pic and buck fastetti.

No need to play it off anymore though, as he's probably in your taxidermist's freezer waiting to be mounted.

LOL!
