It’s sad really, what it’s become. I enjoy sharing hunting experiences, success, pictures and stories. It’s one of the most enjoyable experiences I can have. It’s not just sharing my own. I love to hear others too. I could talk good hunting stories and successful kills all day every day. But, it’s obvious some of you have never experienced the trouble it causes. If you consistently kill good deer, you will become immediately hated, judged, talked about, rumored, ignored or lied about by many. Some ppl will appreciate it, but others won’t. Antlers break up families, relationships, partners, end leases, begin new ones, cause property values to increase to where they’re unaffordable to most, draw attention of investors, land flippers, and just generally create problems. It’s not the dead deer that ppl worry about out. It’s the outcome of a history of big dead deer and what it creates for the future.
It's amazing at what humans will place so much value on. I have antlers hanging on the wall and you know what they have gotten me? Absolutely nuthin'. If you boil it down to it's basic form as to what they are actually worth and what they add to your well being in life as a tangible item, they are basically worthless. Yet, we will spend countless dollars and destroy relationships in pursuit of them.
