That's why I don't join any trophy clubs. I have nothing against them, it's just not my thing.Shooter should only matter to the person pulling the trigger.
Yet your avatar says different...everyone says they shoot whatever is legal, but yet they post pics of big trophy bucks. Fawns are 100% legal...never see kill pics of grown men with them though.That's why I don't join any trophy clubs. I have nothing against them, it's just not my thing.
And how is that? That buck was shot with a bow on public land. Would you have let a 10 point walk on public land? Yeah I like to shoot big deer, what hunter doesn't? At the same time if I get down to the end of the season and don't have enough meat and I have a few chances left to hunt I'll gladly shoot a 4 point. I don't want to hear grumbling from people at camp or face a fine. I hunt for meat, big bucks are a bonus. If I don't have meat I'll shoot whatever.Yet your avatar says different...everyone says they shoot whatever is legal, but yet they post pics of big trophy bucks.

I would shoot a doe as well. When I'm looking for meat it doesn't matter. No I don't shoot the first buck that walks out these are my 2 from last year. I just don't want any self righteous hunter telling me what I should be pulling the trigger on. That's why I said I wouldn't join one of those clubs. If you like it good, like I said I don't have a problem with it. We all hunt our own standards.Wouldn’t you get the most meat from a big buck vs a 4pt? And if it’s meat your after why not shoot the 10 does you’re allowed? Lots of meat there...
Looks like you’d fit right in shooting mature bucks like that, lol. I guess there are different definitions of trophies in trophy clubs. Any deer that’s hit 4.5+ is a trophy regardless of antler size. I have a beautiful 10pt that’s at the most 3, but we won’t shoot him until he gets another year or two. We call it “aging our meat”, lol.I would shoot a doe as well. When I'm looking for meat it doesn't matter. No I don't shoot the first buck that walks out these are my 2 from last year.

so why you holding those bucks out away from you so far? your hands are bidder than your head.I would shoot a doe as well. When I'm looking for meat it doesn't matter.
