Just who's side are you on anyway?

All camp life and other things that are associated with hunting yes, ultimately its about the kill. Its why we hunt isnt it?
The hunt is the challenge and experience of killing a mature animal. One thats a worthy advisary. When we are kids a young buck was a worthy advisary and my first buck was a 2.5 year old eight point. Lets face it we are all adults now and its human nature to want to challenge yourself. anything less in my eyes is lazyness. but if killing young bucks satisfies you then more power to you. I am just putting my point of view on here just like the rest of you. Sorry if you dont agree with it.

It seems you are also saying anyone who doesn't share your point of view is lazy or less of a hunter.

the side that lets folks shoot what they want as long as it's within the bag limit...a legit bag limit. (I just remember that from the BP debate)

so let me hear your point of view. Instead of just mocking everyone on here. Why do you hunt?

jbs8307...I am curious as to how old are you and how long have you been "hunting"?

Also just curious as to whose ethics and morals should we choose to hunt by? The ones we were raised with or yours? Just curious.

Dude, did you really ask Curly for his point of view on AR's? I'll summarize. He hates them worse than I do.

Sorry, replied to wrong guy.....

Understood before you reposted.

what does that have to do with anything? Does my age make my opinion worth any less?

Where have you been? My point of view has been stated many times. Hunt how you want as long as you keep it legal and do not shove your way of hunting down my throat if I hunt legal and don't hunt like you do, big deal. I enjoy getting out, being with friends and family and taking legal deer. If I get lucky enough to bag a trophy then great but if I don't I'll be glad to take a legal deer period. If you disagree with anything I said then fine but do not talk down to me. I ain't lazy, I bust my butt year after year to have a successful hunt which to me is to get venison and as long as I accomplish that legally, there should be nothing wrong with it.

No i asked him why he hunts? I think we all know everyone that visits this site's opinion on ars. Its been beatin to death about twice a week since they implemented them.

Well apparently.......

Sig, I have a question for you since I do not know the answer to this. I do not have to deal with ARs since under MLD. We have to have a management plan in effect and do census to get tags. Does TPW not do the census anymore in your counties? In the 70's or so no census was done by landowners but as a landowner we had to go to the county to get our doe tags. The land we owned was south of a state HWY and we were allowed 1 doe tag for every 250 acres and step across that same HWY and we could get 1 for every 50 acres. Do you think that type of system would help you area? Would a co-op with larger numbers of people and more voice involved be an option to get relief for you? Just curious.

Just curious no big deal. Your age will tell about a lot of things and you opinion is just that your opinion and it is yours to speak just as mine is mine to speak.

We are ARs but also on LAMPS and we have to fill out and send in a census every year on deer we have taken. In 30 years, it has not changed the amount of doe permits we get every year. 3 per 200 acres.

26 here

When i made my first comment i wasn't talking to you. I just posted my general point of view. It wasn't until you made the "your deer" comment that i quoted anything you said.

Thats why i hunt too. Its the only time i get to see alot of my family. Im not trying to shove my way of hunting down your throat. I could care less what you do on your lease and I wasnt trying to talk down to you, you seem like a great guy. We actually agree on ars for the most part. I just dont appreciate being mocked for having a different opinion.

Point taken but I didn't like being called lazy because, yes, I consider myself a meat hunter, therefore I felt like I was being called lazy. The point about calling them "your deer" well that's probably my bad because I was raised as long as your neighbors are hunting legally, you have nothing to say even if you don't like the fact that they are shooting a young buck or doe as long as they are within the TP&W laws, you don't own the deer so basically, mind your own business, shut up and hunt (not directing that at you at all, just a general statement on how I was raised hunting).

The solution is right in front of all of you that dont think the regulations are working. Its the mld program. I dont understand how anyone could feel as strongly about something and not go out and do something about it.

Well i apologize for that then.

so we should go and shoot 80-100 does on that 5000 acres like their state biologist suggested?

They just don't hand out MLD cause someone wants them. It takes years of records and a management plan to get one. If you do not have enough acres then it is even tougher. Pooling ranches and acres might help but can be tough to get everyone in agreement to do so and then getting follow through would be tougher also. Get a TPW biologist who is a newbie and make it x5 tougher to get an MLD. You are very lucky if you have MLD on LF property.
