2009 Road Hunting Buck

[GoldTip]

Guess I will have to lay claim to being the second *censored* in the thread to accompany MtnMuley.  I have no problem with road hunting and certainly have done it myself in the past.  But if you knowingly open the gate and drive in, when you know others have walked in, or to get back in there and find guys have walked in several miles and you drive past them, well, thats not very "true sportsman like" in my honest opinion. When I am in behind timber company gates, I am not surprised to see guys drive in that are working, but I certainly don't expect to see timber company employees in there driving around and hunting with keys to the gates.

That all being said whether he killed it from the road or not, thats a darn fine buck.

Every single thing about that story is disappointing...  as is all the guys trying to justify it.

Not justifying it at all..just not trying to lump all road hunting into it..thats all.  The  fact that the "true sportsman" drove around timber co land hunting with permission during a rainstorm..is one thing but then he claims to feel sorry for other hunters he passes while in a warm cab..Thats BS.  It sounds like he is rubbing it in now but not sure if that is what he meant. To many open ended ?'s to judge him.  The buck is the only part of the whole story I liked.

I would have never posted my original statement, had the guys name not been "True Sportsman".

It was legal. If you guy's don't like it then don't do it. But you shouldn't judge him. If anything judge the timber company for allowing it.

Nobody said it was illegal did they? Your correct that the Timber co. is responsible for allowing it.

So is shooting a fawn off her mom's tit during a doe season.  Would you do it?

Yes i know no one said it was illegal. But people are making it sound as bad as if he shot it at night in a spot light from his truck. Why treat him like a lepper just cause he doesn't share your views? I really don't get it. Why can't people just hunt the way they want and have people mind their own business? Congratulate him or don't, then move on... If no one road hunted it would get awfully crowded in the brush...

If I was hungry enough I'd shoot a fawn right off the teat. I guess Im one of the dissapointing ones because if it was me I would have taken the deer also. I'd also have been happy with it enough to post. The only dissapointing thing is not supporting a hunter that was in all ways legal.

No. but I also wouldn't ruin someones Topic by bashing them for it. I would keep my mouth shut and mind my own business.

Why not?   I’ve killed a calf with a ball-peen hammer, what’s the difference, they are both food?

You nay-sayers are gypsies!  a friend told me once that the best place for you hunt or kill a deer, is where he's at.  Its not the hunters fault for road hunting, its the deers fault for being there!  if there were no deer by the roads would you hunt there? Of course not-the smart deer learn and live, the dumb deer die!

mmmm fawn meat...yummy

Yes we should judge him.  And he is responsible for his own actions... not the timber company or anyone else.  He should seriously consider changing his handle on this site to something more befitting.
