I high-lighted one in particular since it reminds me of something my old man always says. "When another man tells you a secret to life, give him the benefit of the doubt, otherwise you'll never learn". I know right.. and my old man is a retired union sheet metal contractor.
If you sit all day and see nothing........were you really hunting? If deer didn't have antlers most guys would not hunt them. I take as much if not more pride in my ability to process a deer as I do in hunting them. If I hear one more guy say he is doing something for the "health of the herd" I will puke. I'm having trouble thinking of a good reason why anyone in NY should be allowed to kill 2 bucks per year. I think some people are NOTHING like they portray themselves as online. If gun hunting is "easy" where you live it's because hunting is "easy" where you live. The 2003 Single Cam Patriot could be re-released today and still out perform most of the market. Lots of guys confuse mature buck hunting with huntng in a place that holds mature bucks. My first portable radio in the woods was about the size of a brick with about 15 Ni-Cads in it. Anyone ever die from eating Heater Meals? Money not only can.........it does buy happiness. I don't believe anyone when they say they take pictures and get mounts done "just for them"...or to "honor the animal" Stating that you put more time in then anyone else to accomplish a goal may just make you a slow learner. I think a 2 year moratorium on killing bucks is better and faster then any AR program out there. To be a magazine writer you have to just identify what most guys don't do......then tell them to do it to score the big bucks. Canting, torqueing, and choking the grip are not why you missed by 2 feet. I would rather not even see a monster then see one and choke. Why don't people understand that a young buck is just as capable to pass on great genetics? I'll take great boots over a great bow any day of the week. If a deer smells my hot coffee and avoids me because of it...........so be it.
Why is it that when i meet people that share the love for the outdoors as much as i do, have to live half way across the country?? Yeah, I meet most from this very sight, wish we all lived closer together. Why does everyone think my fingers are Fat, when in reality they are manly hands, and make there sissy hands look, well sissy :d Why didnt i purchase a life time hunting licenese years ago when they were still available?
-Why can't I be as gangsta as buckeye? - Why does Mobow think he is crunk? - Word to ya motha - I really wish I could bow-fish for some huge rainbow trout, to heck with those bottom feeding carp - The guy who must talk/post/brag about his "sucess" is also the guy who is mostly likely to be "full of it" - Yuengling Black & Tan is so much better than Coors Light - What happened to looking up to the old timers who put a DEER (not a "mature" "trophy" buck) down every year? - Where did the friendship aspect in hunting go? - Why do people have to degrade other hunters accomplishments by mentioning how their way is "more difficult"? - Who truly cares about what broadhead another guy shoots? - Yet again.... you (the person reading this post) shoots the best bow ever made and your way/style of hunting is the only true way of hunting. - How can it be so easy to get pictures of a large buck yet it is so hard to kill that deer? - Why has the price of a top end bow went up $250-$350 over the past three or four years? - Just how many hunting items can be "Bone Collectors series"? - How can some states protect albino deer? - Why doesn't PA allow Sunday hunting? - How could anybody spend $30,000 to shoot a deer? - Does the size of the buck killed honestly dictate how good of a hunter somebody is?
-Will my secret white oak stand finally produce a good mast grop this year -Will my oldest son take my youngest son hunting and fishing when I'm no longer around -Should I buy a new bow this year or wait until next year [ again] - Should I try mech head even though my fixed blades fly great -Why am I hunting out of ground blinds more, age or is it lazyness
- If a 40# bow is enough DW to kill deer then why do we use 50, 60 or 70? - Does a stabilizer still stabilize when you are aiming down out of a treestand? - If stabilizers are so needed then why don't Trad bows have them?
Wondering what I am going to do on Sept 12 when archery season opens in GA because my wife is due with our 4th child on Sept 10!
Does anyone really know what time it is? Does Anyone really care? Did Rob finally get his Harley is that why he is never around anymore? If I had the eyes and vantage point of an Eagle or Hawk for one day, would it change my hunting forever? How many Labatts Blues did Bawannajim consume this weekend? What is the lifespan of an Ant? Do they ever just play?
-I envy all you guys who have enough time off each year to take multiple hunting trips. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do it myself. -I wish I didn't stress so much over things that may or may not happen(mostly non-hunting issues) -This past weekend reminded me why for SO many years I chose trout fishing over turkey hunting...and did a good job of swinging the pendulum back. -The more I see/encounter red foxes the more I think they are REALLY cool critters.
-Damn... I can't believe I missed that Coyote this year... twice. -It was so perfect, until I missed. -I can't believe I missed... twice! -Where's that "banging head off wall" smiley?? -Damn!
Only three Labatts for a long lunch Saturday. Chain saws and beer go together like turkey legs and my tag. I'd now rather sit through the gay version of "Phantom of the Opera" than turkey hunt in high winds.
Will I finally get drawn for Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge? Will I connect if I do? Is this "The Year"? Will I kill a deer with trad gear this year? Will I find some land to hunt thats closer to home? Will I make an elk trip in 2010? Where? Fixed or mechanical? Will Carie FINALLY hunt with me this year after talking about it forever? Who will I meet from the boards this year? ( its been at least one each year for the past 4) How will I do on my first 3-D of the year this weekend? Will I stop whining and turkey hunt again next year?
Why can't PA sell a second buck tag at like 100 dollars a pop, before the season? Why would I buy one, even though I still have last year's tag in my holder? Will I ever have enough treestands? Is there anyone that honestly enjoys marmalade? When will there be true health care reform? How much longer can they run this racket? Why can't my new mower, mow in reverse? Do you ever just wish you could talk to your dog for 5 minutes and have him understand you? Where will I be on opening day?
As a spin-off to this Idea..... Why can't PA land-owners get a break on License fees..and my BIGGER GRIPE.... Why can't PA land-owners, who pay taxes, and have for 30+ years get to enter the Doe license allocation along with the residents? Our WMU is gone before we are even eligible to apply!
