HOPE hunters vs. Corn pile Watchers

[LongTatLaw]

HOLLY CRAP!!!!!!

coonhunter u are a the BLUE RIBBON WINNER!

You got it buddy

as for antlers food plot comment... ur still off a little on my point buddy but its ok... I dont think Im writing straight today..too many people confused so it NO JOKE MUST BE ME!

I support all forms of hunting and hunters even if I dont necessarily do that type of hunting!

As for food plots... if you've never made a food plot it requires a great understanding of the game...surrounding environment...weather conditions... and planning years in advance...  so theres lots of planning and homework involved. Once the food plot is in place its not like the search is over. If it was then the same thing could be said for every alfalfa field or apple tree in WA. I can show you...or you could probably show me... thousands of places where deer/elk/bear frequent because of a food source...but that doesn't mean you can just set up shop on that apple tree and bam! B&C animal on the ground 20 minutes later.

It requires homework and a plan...it just gives you a place to begin the homework with limited access to other hunters.

We are all HOPE hunters...We plan and scheme all year long and when we hit the woods we HOPE it all comes together.

LOL

Miles...u sure are all upset...lol  Im not. Relax and see the point through the banter.
I didnt necessarily mean to single you out buddy...

I also dont think Im twisting anything around...Ive been trying to clarify because my post was supposed to be a little joking bash on still hunters and a whole lot of discussion on how a game plan matters and the technique used not so much.

As for scouting. I did plenty this year and despite the fact I didnt hunt one state Id ever hunted in before... i racked up almost 3,000K in taxidermy bills... All fair chase... no fences... no bait.... no hounds....! So I guess Im doing enough scouting buddy. If ya got some hot spots ya wanna share Ill sure go scouting with ya

Again, I support all techniques of hunting that my fellow brothers choose to employ even if I happen to use a different technique.

As for the fences...  um sure... sounds good. I personally have never hunted within a fence but Ive found several that I wanna do...Ill post pics and let ya know when I do

unlike you apparently, I respect those hunters who do choose to hunt that way.

______________________________

Your right coon! At the end of the day, after all my homework...I still employ my technique for the day with crossed fingers...lol

[LongTatLaw]

Having a bad day?

(my comment was inspired by the commercial that was playing while I read your post.)

your watchin the game too i see, kinda dumb commercial i thought. winning 10 to zip

and to add to the thread, SUPPORT HOUND HUNTERS

Yep, dumb commercial but they did their job and got it stuck in my head.

Where do I start......? 

 I "Hope" to shoot deer and elk and bear and grouse and turkey and duck, with all methods listed above. I "Hope" to hunt long enough, to use every method and technique ever tried.
I "Hope" that all you hunters choose to hunt with any technique, any method of travel, or planning, or purpose, really really far away from me.   

But most importantly, I "Hope", and I do mean really really REALLY "Hope" that someone locks this thread before something bad happens.

Honestly I haven't read the latter half of this whole thread, if I missed something worthwhile let me know. as for you first post....the first part of declaring your method is tops, I'll match my hope record and antlerpile with your pisscutter pile any day of the week.  How do you measure success.  Same way you do a big slong, with a tape measure.  INCHES BABY!  Since I haven't seen a whole bunch of elitism, sorry too redneck to know how to spell that word, I have no idea what the hell you are getting at.  If it is to not judge how other people hunt, I agree with you.  Trying to prove that theory with your first paragraph, you need some work, as I was pretty disgusted with you before I got to where you started making any sense.   SOOOOOO....if you want to bash spot and stalk and compare your stand success, to my success, I'm thinking not all luck after 30 years or so, why not, I'm your huckleberry.  If you wnat to say all forms of hunting are valid and are productive depending on the time and place, well then, I'll support that.

[boneaddict]

no locking allowed on this one....I'm not done yet, and I claim executive privledge.

# grand on Taxidermy? You do alot of killin this year?
Pattern blacktails, lets see some biguns, not does or spikes either. I like this argument, the pards and I are eliteist in this dept. Can I see some easy patternable dead buck pics?

[billythekidrock]

It's all yours.

[WDFW-SUX]

People all the time ask me to teach them to hunt

No thanks.............

[ICEMAN]

Sorry Bone, I must have just been getting tired trying to read to the bottom of it all. Locking it would save me some valuable time catching up on the other threads....

[MuleySniper]

Is an "elite hunter" like a Jedi or something? Could someone please explain to me the order? I want to know how many more "points" I need to advance. At least if someone explains the classes to me, I can determine what rank I fall in.

I'm not sure how to spell it let alone classify it.  I always thought that was what the master hunter thing was, then I met some of those guys.....(no offense to the program just th e oxymoron of the title versus some of the idiots(NOT EVERYBODY) that get it)
