Tough Guys

[DirtTime]

So is Garth Brooks. Didn't he beat on a woman?

Did he?

All this fighting is great until the guy that goes down never gets back up again.

sometimes we take deer hunting to serious. sometimes we put too much emphasis on bad man made laws and equate that to ethical or non-ethical hunting. I'm not condoning poaching, there are truly some bad people out there. But the internet is full of lawyers and people so high and mighty that I'm sure they live in a glass house. deer hunting is meant to be an exciting past time that also helps to provide food for our families.

 

We get so bent out of shape over rack size that it has ruined family and friend relationships. I once worked with a guy that stopped hunting with his brothers and cousins because his uncle cused out his son for shooting a bb (he was 16).

 

Moving down south and hunting public land has really opened my eyes to non-trophy hunting and made me appreciate the sport that much more.

I'll always stick up for myself and my family. And I still don't take a lot of chit. But at this stage of my life, I would hope my fighting days are gone. For sure my BEST fighting days are long gone.

 

 

Literally LOL on this.   Thank you.

It only took you moving down south to realize that? I think many more realize that in NY than you might think.

What's with the jab about "man made laws"? Like the laws or not, follow them, or at least pretend to follow them, especially when posting on a public forum where thousands of potential hunters as well as anti-hunters are looking at your every word.

Knee caps, nose bridge, eyes, windpipes, groins.  They're all just as soft no matter how big you are.

when I moved, I was forced to hunt unknown and public land. You don't realize how spoiled you are till you lose your good private land. It quickly became less about a mature buck and more about just getting an opportunity.

 

As far as man made laws I'm referring to shooting hours, setback distances, back tags and even ARs and baiting. Only some of the examples of laws that very wildly from state to state and either make you a legal hunter or illegal. While I do my best to follow laws, I wouldn't consider someone who uses a 3 blade rage head in NY a "tough guy". But shooting over your bag limit in any state, or out of season or spotlighting are all universally unacceptable.

 

Let me know if you're just picking a fight or legitimately debating.

This stuff all sounds like a great new topic.

You and me both but I don't think my good fighting days are gone. I have no problem knocking someone on their butt if they deserve it and started the fight.

It takes just as much toughness to NOT kick the crap out of someone... especially when you know that's what they really need.
