how do you not know that I am not Lieing about where the land is.

If everyone would do there own homework, they can find a big deer just like I did.

Put out camera's. BAIT them up

Hog are you saying its illegal to feed corn during the season?

I said from day ONE ...the harvest record was a JOKE. I AM in favor of the three Buck limit. BUT the way we chose to regulate the limit was total crap from the start. You are asking all hunters to me truthful. Now while 75% of us are .. that harvest record is sooo easily duplicated and the 25% rogues out there just keep piling the deer up.

ROB! I am with you man.. If you are dirty then your friends already know it and you didnt have to kill a 179 buck to prove it, BUT.... If you are an honest hunter then your friends have no reason to dispute your claims. So with that being said .. I dont know you. At this point , it sounds like you had made a small oversight and the warden wanted to be an ass. I think it has been made pretty obvious that very few of us actually follow the law there. And I would even argue the fact that having a booklet in your truck along with your license and harvest record is illegal. Just having the booklet doesnt prove you intended to use it as your harvest record. In your case however, it sounds like you had chosen to use a secondary piece of paper for your record. Probably a slight mistake, BUT.. if you had both copies available and it was obvious only one was filled out.. A good common sense GW would have explaied the mistake and went on to more pressing issues. GWs could help their image sometimes by being educators instead of hard up ticket pushers. Believe it or not .. everyone reading this lacks perfection and we all have made errors.

I like the post... United we Stand! We as hunters should come together better.

Now .. lets get those tags so this crap isnt such an issue any more!

It's not illegal to feed wildlife during hunting seasons.

you can bet the farm that the court is going to get court cost no matter how it is paid, or when. The Judge can waive court costs, but usually dosen't. Court costs suck.

Now your catching on!
I disagree with the second part, deer over 150" are very difficult to find, much less 170"-180".

You forgot one thing.

NEVER,NEVER,NEVER post pics of deer over corn during hunting season

yea, I am slow learner. Different deer, but corn no less.

Rule #1....Never, never, NEVER post a pic of any buck you killed that scores over 120"......ever.

thanks troy, Maybe I can learn something from a NICE GW

I'll save some of ya'll the time.... don't call me nice or you WILL get piled on here I'm trying to be nicer but sometimes it is hard to be nice on this forum will the seemingly overabundance of azzholes.

How was that???

troy

Man, I've been missing out. I just read all 10 pages of this after seeing the picture posted. Very interesting discussion.

BTW... Congratulations on the buck of a lifetime. I will be even more impressed after your comments when you have another one this good next year. If you do, please don't hesitate sharing the picture and story.

Exactly. You pay court costs in AL on any citation, traffic or otherwise, whether you got to court or not.

Most speeding tickets are $50 fine at most. It's the $127.50 court costs that sticks it to ya!

Another reason we need tags.
There would be no confusion and no individual interpretation of the rules.
Either the animal IS tagged or the animal IS NOT tagged, simple and unmistakable.

... just like the qdm "harvest thingy" idea was simple. Have you ever seen the DCNR do anything that was simple?? There ain't no room for extortion in simple.

MAYBE THERE IS AN OVERABUNDANCE OF AZZHOLE WARDENS IN ALABAMA. JUST MAYBE!

The 'harvest-thingy' really is pretty simple.
The fact that people didn't care to educate themselves about it does not make it 'complex', or 'hard'.

If this 'harvest-thingy' is really difficult for you, I don't know how on Earth you function in Society?????

I function OK, thank you. Several members in this thread had a problem understanding the requirements of the qdm "harvest thingy" though. Maybe you should concern yourself about how they function in society.

YOUR post 49'er.....

Trying to promote YOUR agenda!

Is this forum too complex for you to realize that was me quoting YOUR post and replying??
