Lug, I disagree with you. You have no idea how this man thinks. What he honors or how might be completely different than the way you would do it. h.h. I'm only going off of what he said in his post, read it. Woodmaster, which side of the fence are you on now? One minute it bothers you that button bucks are getting killed, and the next post it doesn't bother you a bit what one kills. Aren't these your exact words: Does it bother you or doesn't it? I'll wait for a response after you look it up Nothing has ever "bothered" you BUT you understood WHY it was done? So I guess you'd say I'm on both side of the fence......make sense to you?

Shoot em ALL! ! Lifetime licence sez I can and move from county to county doing it! I guess I should of put that if there are other deer there or it is very early in the season I'll pass on the BB's But other than that I don't feel bad about shooting them. And at the reduction hunts ALL deer are game.

Their is no honor in killing gods creature for pure pleasure, like most of us do. I have to disagree with this statement. I feel that there is a huge amount of honor in taking a wild game animal in a manner that is respectful to it's life. Every animal I take I spend a moment to thank it for providing me with recreation, food and most importantly it's spirit. I do this from everything I take, ducks, geese, deer, bluegills, bass, you name it. I don't think you can say that I or anyone else takes pleasure in "killing gods creature." I take pleasure in the process but the killing is a very tiny small portion of it. I enjoy my time in the woods even if I come home without anything. Now if someone catches 50 bluegills and tosses them on the bank, or shoots a deer and takes only the head and loins, or cripples many ducks and geese in the pursuit of their limit.... then there is no honor in that. And back on the topic of button bucks. I have shot them in the past. But I don't choose to shoot them on purpose. Give the choice of what I know is a doe or a BB I'll take the doe. If I can't tell for sure and accidentally take a BB... oh well. No sense in loosing sleep over taking a "deer" during "deer season." --hountzmj

If a person takes pleasure in the killing of one of Gods creations they have a psychotic problem. The pleasure should be derived from the knowledge that you are providing food for your family thru the work of your own hands. Unlike going to the grocery store where you pay for the work that others have done, so you did not have to. Take a second thank the Lord for allowing you to take his creation; whether it be a button or a 250 lb Goliath.

But let me ask you this, if i may, IF killing the deer was a very tiny little part of the overall experience, and really means very little to any hunter, which by the way not all hunters eat venison, why not just take a camera? Myself i love the kill, and its not everything. But it sure feels good to watch em' fall. I hunt cause i love it, and everything about it. I don't feel guilty when i kill an animal. I feel mankind hasn't risen to the top of the food chain to eat celery. I just wouldn't think i'd honor an animals death just cause i eat it or put it on my wall. Only thing i can think of is to respect the deer enough to make a cleans as possible kill without putting the deer in anymore pain than you have to. I've never walked into a hunters living room, and the hunter said he mounted the animal cause he was honoring him. Maybe i just don't get around enough.

I'm going to settle this argument once and for all. I take pleasure in the oppurtunity of being outdoors, and for honoring my forefathers with the possibility of hunting an animal (deer, turkey, duck, whatever) to provide meat for my family. Being on a low income, I use any means available to provide food for my family ( wether I have to kill it, use food stamps, or ask someone for food).
I DO NOT hunt just to kill God's creatures. That is morally and ethically wrong to me. As for putting the deer skin of my very first deer on the wall and having the skull with it is my trophy and reminder of the first deer I ever took. Most of you probably either have your first deer ( whch was probably a Buck) on your wall in some way shape or form be it a shoulder mount or just the antlers.
I didn't have that luxury, so I did the next best thing. I'm not honoring anything except the remeberance of my first kill.
