[QUOTE="db-2, post: 227449, member: 4743"] When I was young I could go to the Coast to Coast store and get my license on Friday morning. Then walk for days and never see another hunter or for that matter a deer. Then the lottery came and finally in 95 I applied for my last rifle whitetail tag. That was the last year I shot at a whitetail and my last shot was with my son also shooting at that deer. Finally took the horns off from hanging on a tree to dry out since then to mount(still had hide on). Will ask my son once done if he remembers this deer. But I adapted and got a bow and have hunted with that since, five bucks in that time and yes in my world bow hunters are picky. Son adapted too with a bow. A whole different world out there versus rifle hunting and yes I could of harvested a deer every year with the bow but not my goal. [B]At 71 I am sure I will need to adapt again [/B]as for many, instead of adapting one needs to change the system and I would imagine at the bow hunters expense. No I do not need to be guarantee a tag as I get one every year. Gratis tags, if only the rules were follow I could live with those getting. Bow tags are already being used by the rifle hunter. And I could also go on and on. Sometimes I feel in my area more deer are kill by poachers than license hunters or those that feel one tag means a handful. db [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I would add that if my dad was still alive he could tell the story of how there was no whitetail hunting season for many years of his youth. db [/QUOTE]
