RE: location.....
Why can't you say it? It's true!
I also wouldn't see it as complaining (unless it really WAS....and that does hapen, here).
And I certainly wouldn't tell you you're using the fact that you haven't caught a 10lb. bass in OH as an "excuse".

RE: location.....

I'll tell you......some want to look at it as if these threads are somehow "diminishing accomplishments". I see it another way. I see as downright insulting to guys like Rob/PA nd Matt/PA that someone would insinuate that there's something OTHER than "location" for the reason they don't kill large racked bucks on a regular basis (or, haven't in the past). Nobody seems to wanna look at it like that.

Two: I've never heard Rob or Matt try to use the location excuse to defend their hunting. As a matter of fact, you are the one who brings it up most often. Why do you feel the need to come to their aid when they are not complaining? They seem to be taking nice, mature bucks from their area without complaint. When someone from the midwest takes a dandy, you are usually the first one to throw out the location card. It is very insulting. There are plenty of people hunting in trophy rich environments that do not take big bucks. This must say something about the hunter.
Again...... The only time I hear the location card being played is when someone is trying to down play someone elses accomplishment and to raise someone elses securities.
Why else would it be brought up? "Well if Joe X hunted there, he'd get just as many big bucks as Bill Z."
What does that sound like to you??
Like Magicman said......Sour Grapes.

RE: location.....
One: Anytime someone brings up the location card it it is usually to down play someones accomplishment and heighten anothers security. Childish at best.
You drag 150" deer consistently out of a 12 acre woodlot. Ya THINK location has something to do with that?

I congratulate people for the deer they take and have NEVER, EVER said the reason someone took a particular deer was about "location". That's an outright LIE, Greg.

I'm telling you it's not the reason I mention it. Maybe you should look at it like maybe an INsecurity??
I can assure you there are no sour grapes here. I kinda think the implication (without substantiation) is humorous....
You're 0-2, legend!

So no one can state a fact about deer hunting...."Gospel", even.....without it "diminishing another's accomplishments"? That's rich.....lol.

They have no reason to complain.....and they're not. When someone mentions a fact, though....WHY do you take it as "complaining"?
