Yes it is. Web's is closing his store, but he will be open for deer processing. I don't know the hours yet.

Sorry to hear he is closing the store, but I guess yet another small town operator can't afford to keep his doors open and that's a shame.

Id like to let the little guys walk but, where I hunt everyone on the neighboring properties shoot anything that walks, which forces me to do the same.

I let the small bucks go.

Some will no doubt be taken if I let them walk but the way I figure it some will slip through to maturity. Some younger Bucks need to be taken out if they show no potential to better the herd. If your like me and you mainly hunt for the meat then passing on the Bucks is not that hard to do. I like any hunter can appreciate harvesting a nice mature Buck but I don't consider my season a failure if I don't. And some are of the opinion that Doe's are no challenge to kill but I have found them to be quite a challenge personally. I'll admit I'm not a very skilled Deer hunter a novice if you will, but I hope to get better at it as each season goes buy. Young Bucks are good eating thats for sure,I'm not sure if the older ones get less so as they age because i have never harvested a truely mature Buck, yet.

What's all this "LIKE" crappola that is suddenly sprouting up all over the posts and taking up twice the space on a thread than is needed? If I wanted to be on Facebook, which I don't, to "LIKE" something or somebody I'd go there, LOL! IMHO it makes a good hunting website look like a little kids playground, LOL!!! I hope all of you "LIKE" this post!

I agree. I saw that it had been tagged all over the place like some school kid had nothing better to do. Every post had it tagged all over. Looked like some gang tagger on the rail cars or building sides.
On the OP's note, I agree with letting the little ones walk and you done a good job on passing on him. If he shows up again during season, he will look good on the wall. Too many would not have passed him the first time and not got to see him now. That will have some good genetics in the herd now.
