OMG!!!!! That's Vixen!!!!! This is a tragedy. Now how will the song go?
On Dancer. On Prancer. On Cupid and dead reindeer? The sleigh is bound to pull to one side now and the old man will be circling the earth unable to get back to the North Pole.
Oh the humanity!!!!
hehehe @Rick... thats funny :P
Thanks for that link Hunter, absolutely incredible deer!
Ooooooh ---- that Vixen.Quote:

That is just awesome but it must be bitter sweet for that hunter. To shoot a great buck is why we trophy hunt but now he knows that he just shot the best buck he will EVER get. Years more ahead of him in a deer stand and it will never ever be bested. May as well sell his rifle and take up golf now. There is no topping that one for him. It almost saddens me for his executed spirit. Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle....I..I gotta...I gotta go :bawling:.
I guess I just don't understand trophy hunting. Or maybe a better way to say it is that I understand it, but disagree with it.
So, You would shoot a small doe over a largely racked buck? Shoot what ya want pal. I'll do the same. Best.Quote:

With a rack that size,there can only be jerky left under the hide,trophies are for the birds...Quote:

Especially around here where deer can be ran to death with dogs, and the intent of food plots are misused...but thats just my opinion.Quote:

You obviously "Get it". To clear the water a bit I do not believe in hunting anything that I don't intend to eat, but if you get the bonus of a nice rack, well all the better. For you "trophy challenged " folks, the large rack is a reward/badge of honor of sorts for doing both your home work and field work and passing up the young and inferior game for the prosperity of the species. It is what seperates us from the animals. Animals take what they can get, when they can get it. Man takes his time, applies his knowledge and skills, and strives for better than what "chance" deals him. It is part of being human that all of us were born with. To deny the desire for better game or better anything for that matter, is to deny your human intellect and a hunter's spirit. "More" of a good thing is rarely bad. Like I said, "Yall shoot what you want, I'll do the same". Be safeQuote:

LMAO! no,no nerve struck,just wonderig if we are talking about the same rack here.... I was talking about the antlers,and you?????Quote:

Crash, has somebody been in Paw Paws medicine again? Or is it time to :)? Too many people wear their feelings on their sleeves. Lighten up a little. I posed a sarcastic question with the intent for a friendly rebuttle but you obviously took it to heart. I expressed my "opinion" and that is all it is. Stay safe.
Do "I" have to have the last word? To quote you in that thread, "NO" :). Stay safe, Brother.Quote:

But on the other hand, I would have taken that trophy in a heart beat, given the chance.
Already save several dandies,but not like THAT.
Little deer grow into big deer, so they pass, does are shot only to fill the freezer.
That just how it is, not for everyone, I agree.
Most of the people I know (personally) that shoot small bucks, does, etc, will take most anything that walks by, not wanting to put in the time or effort, to score a trophy.
They are the ones that say they are meat hunters.
So, y'all do what ever seems right to you, as I will.
(this post is a statement was only to clarify my opinion, not an attack on any one)
well said Hunter63 :clap:!!! IN MY OPINION, that sums it up nicely, especially the "not willing to put in the time and effort to score a trophy" part. IN MY OPINION "most", I said "most", strickly meat hunters are not skilled enough to be choosey on their game and kill what they can. For anyone listening, this is just MY OPINION and not meant to be antagonistic toward anyone's hunting practices or ethics. If this trammels anyone's "feelings" I respectfully and genuinely am sorry. I hope everyone has a personally fulfilling hunting season whatever your reason to be in the woods. Yall take care.Quote:

I would definately take that rack. Yeh, Rick! You da man! Hope to find one like that in the woods this year. You meat hunters may be onto something. I am of course talking about the deer. OK, the four legged one. Shhhh....my wife is listening.:) Yall take care.Quote:
