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!!!!

Ooooooh ---- that Vixen.

Yeah. Vixen the reindeer, not the dancer...But that's another one. oh, this whole thing is so confusing.

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 .

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.

[Rick]

The object is to hunt for meat and trophy hunting isn't on my list. That's a great deal like passing up a rabbit for a larger one or a squirrel for a larger one. Doesn't it make sense if meat is standing in front of you, take it?

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

That's the same way I view it Crash. As an avid animal lover (not PETA-crazy though), I've never understood trophy hunting. If it's to put food on your family's table, fine, but just to see who can shoot the biggest 'game', baffles me a little. 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.

Yeah, but a nice rack.....uh...nevermind.

[Rick]

You just look at the pictures, too, don't you?

I'd shoot whatever I need to in order to put food on my table. All I was saying was that I disagreed with trophy hunting. No need to be antagonistic toward everybody that does not agree with your opinion.

So...

..The only thing that upsets you more than a big rack, is for a guy to notice it. LOL

(It appears that I've struck a nerve. Ooops!)

[glockcop]

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 safe
