Don....you can't write without condescending to me.....so why bother? So my deer are easy to kill......and you're the king of the forrest? Don....if you were as good as you think you are at this.....you wouldn't have to doll your wife up for harvest photos and pretend to have your own hunting show. There....I finally said what everyone here thinks. Like I said to Moho....WHY should I have to apologize for seeing a lot of deer. I didn't see half that number the first year I hunted (actually not 15%). It took me learning them and FINDING them. It took me gaining access to new area. It took scouting. It took a commitment. I won't apologize for putting in my time to reap the rewards.

Yeah. I passed on a LOT of deer. When you see 344 and have over 200 in bow range.....and you harvest 5.....you passed on a few. What's wrong with that? If I shot every deer that came by I'd be done by mid-Sept.

You keep eluding to me shooting little bucks???? I'm baffled, Don. Are you making fun of my contest entry? It was the first deer I'd ever shot.....and I was and AM still proud of him. Your philosopy on deer hunting and mine COMPLETELY differ. When the thread cam around a few months ago about picking the 5 states you'd most like to deer hunt in.....I chose NC, alone. I don't care about shooting the best bucks in the country. I want to shoot the best bucks in MY WOODS. Heck....I accomplished that. I feel darned good.

OK, Don......because I didn't know any better? because I wanted to kill "A" buck?? Because every doe I saw had a fawn with her?? Pick one and run. I've never faltered from this/these stance(s).

Because I'm evolving, Don??? Because I want to??? Because I have an opportunity (with the new law.....read the original post) to make a bigger difference?????

Where'd that come from? When did I say I didn't. you're a master at pure conjecture, Don. Please expound.

I guess you complain to your wife about your size, too, Don. Now really.....who do you think you are putting words in my mouth? You're a piece of work. You have no idea of what I talk to my wife and friends about.

Here we go round and round........

I disagreed with your entire premise behind why the deer are bigger in your state....and you want to belittle me when I disagree. That sound about right???

You kinda make me chuckle.............for a second....
