Inches ruin the fun that used to be known as deer hunting.

On my place, if whatever deer that is in the sights of the particular hunter will create an awesome experience for that hunter, then they get the green light to shoot.

For me and others who have killed good deer and have mounted some, then that particular deer would probably be a stud of some sort. But it has nothing to do with inches or points.

Last Thanksgiving we were fortunate to be able to let a 9 year old kid and his step dad hunt together, first time deer hunting. He killed a 95 pound 6 point. And he was almost crying he was so proud of it. Would I have shot that deer? No way, would that deer have grown into a larger buck, of course.

That's our rule, make memories, have fun. It's just a damn pine goat and God will make more of them.

I agree 100% - people get too serious with these pine goats sometimes

I'm all about making 1-2 memories per season.

But I see people making 6-8 all the time and that's where we might disagree.

Some of you seem confused. I never saw the poster say he wanted your opinion of his clubs rules or gave a chit about them. Let them restrict it however they want. And anyone who argues in favor of the fella breaking the rules, is exactly the type of person that makes most clubs miserable to be in.

He didn't say anything about somebody acting an azz either, when they talked about critiquing his club's silly rules.
Sorry, couldn't resist, Atoler.

They're not all bad. We don't execute our bad apples until the 3rd strike.

Talk about hijacking a thread, good grief.

Sumter County on the Tombigbee is my favorite place!
