    Yea who cares, this is all fun as hell. If someone shoots a jackelope id be fine with whatever multiplier or bonus or brownie points. Just cool to see some of the more rare species harvested. Theres no crying in baseball.

    not to my recollect, but bowhunting is pretty popular down there. Remi Warren just did a video where he shot a Rus (spelling?) buck down there that while similar to a elk in antler form but was much smaller...probably went about 130" or so.

    I have a bowhunting friend down in Oz. A lot of hunting opportunities there including things we likely wouldn't expect... Camels and cats were two that surprised me. For deer I think he said sambar and rusa are the varieties near him... But see the following deer types are found there: fallow, red, chital, hog, rusa and sambar

    That's a cool looking deer. I believe they are the ones that have fangs?

    Also don't forget the Roe deer. Although I believe there isn't much bow hunting in Europe. I think I remember a guy last year posting the story of a Roebuck he shot in Romania.

    I read somewhere if you eat one of them you get the echo variant, but don’t have to wear a mask bc it won’t fit over the fangs you grow as a side affect

    Don't underestimate the stupidity of people, their dishonesty or attempts of antis to stop hunting...

    Your comment above tongue in cheek... But this article just hit my radar:

    Oh I am aware. I live in Washington state.

    My buddy called the other day he had a young black tail buck that had two broken legs. It had been hit by a car and was laying down in his yard. He could walk up to it and touch it. He doesn’t hunt and wanted to know what he should do. I couldn’t get up there so I recommended calling WDFW. He did and they sent a police officer over to put it out of his misery. The cop bungled the shot and it wailed for 5 minutes before it finally died. The next day my buddy found this “note” from some passive aggressive spineless neighbor. It’s written in blackberries picked from just off the road.[​IMG]
    Apparently letting the deer die from starvation or being eaten alive by coyotes or a bear is much better.

    He lives closer to Seattle. The closer you are, the dumber the people.
