By making deer so easy to kill and extending the season so long I think we’ve devalued the resource and ppl take it for granted. I’ve heard it 1 million times, “But our bucks move well in February. The cameras let me know when they’re there so I’m not wasting time hunting when I shouldn’t. Small landowners don’t have a way to attract deer. We have to bait.” All those things are true. Indeed. And I’m a guilty part of the problem! But what have we to gain in any area of life by taking the easiest route? I think we’ve turned sportsmanship into a thing of the past.

Preach it!!

The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.
