careful who you hunt with

Phil, you miss understand me.
What I am opposed to is "Sport" hunting, we get these massholes that come up here shoot 2 or 3 deer for the racks and waste the rest.
If you are hunting for food, something you will eat, I say more power to you.
It isn't so much the hunting I oppose, it is the mindset of some hunters.
If you are fishing for the biggest bass in the lake, get your picture and let it go.
If you are fishing to put a meal on the table the best lure is dynamite.

Nobody likes slob 'hunters'.
In AK they would be facing charges that make their hunting shooting trip a LOT more expensive! I thought AZ had a wasting game meat law but can't seem to find it right now.

Me too.    I never got the whole canned hunt idea.

When I hunt, if I kill the biggest buck in the woods then PERFECT. If I don't it's still PERFECT.
At least I got the juices flowing (adrenaline for game and beer for fish) and I'm not at home sitting on the couch.

This past season I spent nearly 60 hours total in a blind (more than I had in the last 10 years combined). I was not only trying to put meat in our freezer, but was trying to bag some venison for a couple of friends who don't have a place to hunt where they live. I didn't even get a glimpse of a deer, let alone a shot at one.....and on some of the colder days it was, at times, very painful to my leg and hips.......but I still had a good time because I was there.

I believe in controlled herd culling/management for the overall sake of herd healthiness, but I don't believe in trophy or indiscriminate killing.
