The thrill is for some guy from California (because we all know californian's are moving to texas at an alarming rate and ruining our state) who wants to pretend like he's a true texan hunter. Look. I was raised old-school. I don't get on my phone while i hunt. I don't shoot bobcats, why would I? They are pretty and fun to watch. I don't shoot rattle snakes, my dad taught me to just leave them alone. I don't shoot mountain lions, never seen one, but i bet they are fun to watch. I don't shoot pen raised animals. I WILL shoot coyotes. I am ethical. I use ethical firearms (none of that millennial call of duty wussy .223 AR with a foregrip and holographic sight bullcrap), if you're not man enough to handle a little recoil you shouldn't be hunting. I DONT SHOOT WHAT I DONT EAT. Thats how my dad raised me. It's all about the effort and hard work, then getting to feast on wild game all year long enjoying my hard earned reward while i get ripped working out using nature's protein, so i can hunt harder next year and walk an extra mile up that mountain. It's a lifestyle.

I really enjoy knowing if the zombie apocalypse comes, I'm going to be sitting in high cotton surviving off the land using the outdoors skills only true, fair chase hunting has taught me. And just for the record I hunt public land and don't use feeders. I truly get off knowing that I can kill elk and deer on public land, being in good enough shape to go where i want, while fat rich people have to pay to do that! Lol. Flame suit on.

To each his own on the topic of HF and LF, but I would suggest using caution when throwing stones...

Feeder Pens
http://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/6359994/Feeder_pens#Post6359994
"Wondering what yalls opinions are on feeder pens. I really hate to have to have one, but with cows around it seems the only sure way to keep them out. I firmly believe in leaving as LITTLE human sign around as possible, and i feel like the feeder pen will keep big bucks away. Hell, If i were a deer and i saw all that fencing id sure as hell stay away. But, im not a deer."

Oops.

Marke: Wife wanted and elk mount over the fireplace. I bought one and put it there. That ok with you?

There is a Rembrandt hanging in the hallway. Do I need to post a sign under it saying I didn't paint it?

You don't "do it like our ancestors". Quit lying.

Pretty sure my ancestors used rifles and bows just like me. Ok, i use a compound so i'll give you that. And, my ancestors in the 1800's used muskets, so, i'll give you that too. But my ancestors in the 1900's probably used 30-06's, which is what i use so thats a moot point. Other than that, I hunt in treestands. And when im in colorado I spot and stalk....soo....yup thats how my ancestors did it.

Oops.

I respect them. I like hunting like they do. A lot of those guys are tough old mountain men who do it old school, I think its cool. My uncle is 68 and can still pack and elk up a mountain, on his back. Thats a man i respect, therefore, I care what he thinks. Plus im a born and raised Texan, im proud of our state.

I'm about to bust a gut laughing.
A man bids $500,000 for governor tag good all year. The same bidder hires and pays 4 guides to cover the ram. Then when he has time he flies up in his helicopter and takes a B&C ram in a couple of hours

He's a hero the money raised by selling the permit will help put sheep on the mountain. Who cares how it was collected.
The ram makes the cover of all hunting magazines.

And HF is the downfall of mankind.
These post always read like the corrupt Government trying to regulate morality.

I hunt for me. My man cave is for me. I sleep well, have a successful business in my opinion maybe a failure to the 500,000 sheep bidder, I have beautiful children, grandchildren a loving wife of 35 years, friends and most importantly a Savior named Jesus. Who when I stand before him will pass judgement.

Take a helicopter to the summit - frame the picture.
Take as many handicap stokes has you can get in order to win the golf tournament - display the trophy.
Make hole-in-one from the women’s tee box – there is no one that you know that you haven’t already told about getting a hole-in-one.
Catch your biggest bass in farmer Fred’s stock tank - often claim it as your biggest; display the replica mount.
Cheat on the test to make an A’s throughout college – frame the honors award.
Not strong enough to make team – street pharmaceuticals changed that in 6 months.
Your prize steer isn’t winning any prizes – purchase someone else’s prior to the big show and win 1st place.
And you guessed it.....Kill a giant buck in a pen – mount hangs over fireplace.

Grampa didn’t do it this way, but who cares. We accomplished more than he ever dreamed possible! Just hit the easy button and check the box. That is all it is, just another notch under the belt.

I'm pretty sure my "ancestors " would have killed a bakers dozen deer
with a hand grenade while they were standing at a feed trough just to get
the meat. Like so many things hunting has been romanticized, commercialized
and sanitized. Once it became a sport, there was no stopping it.
