We had an awesome year, killed 8 bucks that were at least 8 point or better. My little girl had several opportunities to kill one but it didn’t pan out. That could have easily been 9-10 good racked bucks. We’re any of them “monsters” not to me personally but I wouldn’t change one single shot that was made. I would hope for the exact same type of season every year the rest of my life and I’d be fine. To ask for any more would be selfish and dreaming in my eyes. I am not and never will be the type of guy who goes two years and never pulls the trigger because I enjoy killing deer. I enjoy others who come hunting with me, when they kill deer. When I was a kid we dog hunted and I got JUST as excited when I heard someone else shoot. Back when the Roost was in operation I remember reading on their web site or pamphlet that they specialize in 16” deer that will put a smile on anyone’s face. That stuck with me and I’m still that way. Why has that changed for so many people, and why is it so important to push that same philosophy on everyone else? This year made me happy! One of our best imo! We did 3 euro mounts and no head mounts, and we’re all fine with that.

I think this idea goes both ways…..Many of the guys who are sitting out there just shooting whatever and however many makes them happy are doing so on the backs of the folks around them who are using more restraint…….I find that most hunters are only ever concerned with their own personal situation…….You never hear a hunter talking about how his actions are impacting someone else and what they might want. I think there needs to be some folks who look out for the greater good of the whole group. I’ve always thought that was supposed to be the DCNR……At the end of the day it boils down to the X’s and O’s of sustainability in the setup we have…..logic over emotion……Where is it leading us in 5-10 years?

^^^ What Matt Said
Your post is great - what gets me - some try to push their idea on everybody and shame certain type of hunters. Their aint no hero stories out there - we supposed to be able to kill and eat animals - we at top of food chain. If u like clear cuts - hunt em - fields - hunt em - muzzleloader - hunt with it - cross bow - hunt with it - if u hunt over corn do it - if you dont - great - nobody cares 😀 Some try to make it a big deal they hunt a certain way and theirs is better. Aint nobody winning no awards here and get over yourself - we just killing an animal and i hope i always love doing it
And you dont owe anybody an explanation - go enjoy the privilege and freedom. I respect you either way you do it if its legal!!
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

Hav all the opinions ya want CNC. Some hav said muzzleloader is killing all the deer - so is crossbow. I aint shot one with either going on 3 years now. Lot of the opinions dont hold merit
And one of my main points - lot of people get rude and arrogant with their opinion. What happened to respect your fellow hunter if he hunting legal? My deer heard is great - controlling the trigger finger probably helps the most over all these opinions. Thats up to the hunter - opinions on here will not change that so its more of a fantasy game 🤣🤣

Let's say you lease 300 acres and your neighbor owns his 300 acres. Who has more rights? Rights are the same on both sides of the line
