Default somtimes friends can really

It was opening shotgun season in my state this weekend. I didnt get anything this weekend. I could of but I passed up on 4 pointer. Told my friend about it. He said why did you not take it. I said want him to hopefully get bigger. This really pissed me off what he said afterwards. You arent a good enough hunter to be passing up on deer. The last time I got a deer was 4 years ago when I started hunting.

Hes got it backwards.

A good hunter lets the deer get bigger.

Thats what makes you a good hunter, you don't just shoot any thing that walks in front of you.

Good job let them grow.Your friend is probably the kind that crys that he cant get a wall hanger.You are showing good dicipline.That is why I think every state needs some form of point restrictions.

Take it easy. You are building up some good hunting karma points there that your "buddy" doesn't even get. It takes more discipline to pass sometimes than to just shoot. Always be happy with your shot cause you can't take them back. Good job and happy hunting! Gary

I have been hunting in NH for 15 years and have only five harvest. 1 nice eight , a 7 and 3 buttons, one was with bow. I passed a four and a spike last year and let many does go by. Good for you! Your a great hunter.
