For the love of God!! Snowpa, I've shot a few deer that "most" would call trophies. Can only think of one that may be questionable. Mid 80's and did not have a watch. Coulda been a few minutes late but I can't say. Sure could see him fine.
And to be clear..., every single person who has fished,hunted or trapped has at one time or the other "poached" as defined by the law...., EVERY single one of us!!!
Going to have to disagree on that one B&B . Never poached ,fish deer squirrel . Put my shells in my pockets HUNDREDS of times in the squirrel woods after I killed 6 growing up. In the early 70 and some old man was giving me $1 apiece for them skinned. Took a lot of conviction not ot keep shooting. If I did I didn't know about it and knowing the KY game laws was a passion of mine growing up because I wanted to become a game warden. But the merit system knocked me out of that dream. Took the exam when I was 24 and scored a PERFECT 100 on the test but got beat out by 3 vets because they got 8 bonus points for being vets. At that time only 2 other people had EVER made 100 on a test with 98 question . Remember you had to know stuff like how many teeth a possum has!! Score was good for 4 years and I never took it again as why bother. Now after I'm too old and crippled they change the qualifications. 80 % of the testing is physical fitness. If you can lift weights and do push ups your in. Forget knowing anything about the species you are sworn to protect. OH NO I lied I did shoot some song birds with my BB gun when I was 6 so you are right ................

Could break the springs on a F-250 if you freighted it with the various Tweeties I took out as a kid.

Thanks for your honesty! You want to see the moral majority here really poach, come to Alaska and watch them fish.

I've read this thread all the way thru. Same topic different day. I am amazed at the amount of people that knock trophy hunters, I don't knock meat hunters, at all, ever. Truth be told what if trapping season came in and you were only allowed 3 coon and season over? That would be accomplished in one night. Thats how I feel about deer here in Ohio. My season would literally be over on the first weekend if I shot any deer. First couple of days of gun season or first couple of days muzzleloader. My son and I take our share of doe but prefer the real challenge of a mature buck. Why not let me hunt them throughout the season for a challenge? Year and a half bucks do nothing for me, could literally shoot them whenever. Now if I lived in a state (NewYork) where you are lucky just to see a buck things may be different? As for the $12,000, these guys obviously have disposable income and its not costing them food off their families table. So if they want to grow big deer and place limits cause they love deer hunting, more power to them.
