If this doesnt convince folks that purchasing your own property should be a priority, I dont know what will. Our kids will see the day that only the wealthy will be able to hunt UNLESS you already have your own spread...sad, but true I beleive.

Been this way in the South for decades. Nobody here hunts on someone else's land for free. Leasing hunting rights is what I grew up with. I'm 56 now.

The "locals" have not hunted private property free here either. So, they arent being kicked off when a property sells as they were never allowed there to begin with.

You westerners are spoiled by all the public land you have available out there that enables yall to keep it "au natural."

After your first sentence, nothing else you typed really mattered. As slamming other hunters method of hunting is the biggest reason hunting has went downhill. JMO

The craze for large antlers and stroked ego's has done more damage to hunting traditions than anything else. Michigan is a great example.

Hunters against hunters will be the end to hunting.

Different styles in every region, and each hunter hunts for his own reason. I wouldn’t want a dishonest “Skip” in my hunting group. But the horn hunters and meat hunters have to find a balance or understanding. I don’t know the answer here - but this argument is really getting attention.

Ego is a enemy of any man or women,,, whatever reason to hunt or trap conversation should in the forefront of your thinking . Killing or harvesting is just a small part and least part of it . Imo
But in this results driven society it's getting more and more attention to bad. Imo.

Ive never known a "meat hunter" that would shoot a doe that was standing next to a young buck. Cant eat them antlers, eh....bye, bye little buck.

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Spike buck every time,,,, a doe makes more deer.
Like killing a spike bull eats way better than a cow unless a yearling.

Not my cup of tea but if these wealthy land owners are willing to spend millions to provide fencing, feed, stands etc. for those that are willing to pay those kind of funds to shoot semi captive whitetails, it is an opportunity that some can use. When I was a kid we had deer come to the salt block for the cows in our barnyard and often thought what it would be like to sit in the silo room and dust them off. None were of the scale and quality that were on those photos but to me the methodology is similar. The MLB considered asterisks by the names of those who they could prove were using PEDs. Do the trophy hunters need to have a system where by farmed andfenced wildlife is recorded.

If he had a problem with the pact, he should have said you can not shoot him if you want but I’m killing it if I see it. Then everything would have been cool.
But supposedly he gave his word, so that was his first problem and it seems it was all down hill from there.


That part of Texas is a different world. They hunt like they do for a reason.

The still picture of the buck is not not all that impressive to me. It has a lot of points, but it lacks spread and the mass isn't there either.

... let the record show that 52 Carl likes his wide and massive lol

... as far as this south tx nonsense goes... I always hoped it wouldn’t make it east but it has

.. and to those talking “division “ ... I’d rather raise beef if I’m going to raise anything... hunting isn’t animal husbandry


Insert profound nonsense here

It scored 208 so there's that. The point is that the buck would have been world class in two years, when it would have reached its full potential. And by the way mass accounts or an average of 12% of the score and spread almost nothing. If you have a buck that scores 200 with a 18 inch spread, take that buck and give it a 20 inch spread and now it scores 202.

I guess the silver lining is: he had to be a main breeder buck in that hierarchy and hopefully passed those genes down to the herd.
