trophy hunting

[old fart jim]

how many strictly trophy hunt. as for myself I always start out that way and the some stupid doe or yound buck stands broadside and my bow just goes off on its own. I've even used different bows and the same thing always happens. guess I just aint got no good will power

ANY deer to me is a trophy; two years ago I finally killed a doe that I've been hunting for over 4 years; she was responsible on numerous occassions of letting every deer within a 2 mile radius know that I was in the woods; no matter how careful I was, no matter how much attention I paid to the wind or my scent, she would bust me every time; her luck finally ran out and I was able to slip a arrow through her and when I found her I was as proud as if I killed the biggest buck in the woods;
So no matter the size or gender, I hunt for one reason, the blessing of the meat for me and my family; my trophy room is my spam...

fer me its 1st come 1st served. i don't care if it has headgear or not cause its canned or in the freezer. those Bucks with great big antlers never are tender, no matter if you crock pot them fer 12 hrs

In the beginning of the season I usually try to take as many does as legally allowed. Then its strickly trophy hunting for me.

I start the season with high expectations, but usually take the first buck that comes along. This season has been the rare one so far, in that I did actually pass on a spike buck. Since we are allowed only 1 buck per year I didn't want to end the buck hunting this soon. Figured I could get a doe for meat, and I did get one a few days later, so now I can be selective for a few weeks.

I am strickly a trophy hunter. Here is a picture of the buck I'm currently pursuing.



Did you happen to see my last kill? Massive.

[longwinters]

I am not real picky. I can pass on spikes etc but as the season goes on my self enforced limits decrease with the opportunity.

Ask me the second week of December.

I just shoot anything that wanders below my tree stand.

Some people look at a deer and estimate the gross and net score of the rack before deciding whether to shoot or not. I ponder the tenderness and size of the roasts and loin chops before I shoot.

Who is your taxidermist?

That really looks lifelike!

Must have been fixed up before Grizz got home, otherwise, there would be a bite or two taken before anyone could grab the camera.

How's your biking coming along Grizz?

How's your biking coming along Grizz?

Doing OK. Hope to do an hour later today.

I wasn't able to do the daily regimen while I was in Indiana, and I'm going to be away for eight days at an out-of-state speaking engagement starting tomorrow.

I can't wait to get home and settle down into the normal daily exercise routine!

Travel and staying away from home can really bust your norm, but I think during this week in the mountains I can get in some good walking every morning ... some along the Appalachian Trail.
