Good debates... I just hate to be talked down to because I don't hunt/manage like somebody else. Our goals are likely not the same.
True!! Which makes for a good debate. Especially on this topic because I’m on both sides of the coin and have real world experience with being the bigger land guy and the small land guy. Also I know the the broad spectrum of a deer hunters mindset. At my age and as long as I’ve been hunting, I’ve been through every stage except 100% trophy hunter and I hope I never get to that point. If I see a good buck and he makes me huff and take a deep breath, there’s a strong possibility he’s gonna get shot at. And if it’s a buck the neighbors were wanting to let grow and I didn’t know about it, well I’m hate it for them. I’d expect them to do the same if they had the opportunity. If a deer walks in front of me, at that time it’s my deer, my choice!! Have I made the wrong choice before? Of course I did and I’m sure I’ll make the wrong choice again. It’s human nature. The thing with me is if you ask if we can work together, I’m in 100% with you but if you try to tell me what I can and can’t shoot on my property I control, you will be very disappointed in the results. At the end of the day I just want to go sit in God’s magnificent creation and relax and not worry about anything and if I decide to shoot a deer, I want to celebrate that deer and enjoy everything about killing that deer.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
