I'm happy with my "dink" but I'd be a whole lot more happy with a giant.... I don't think most guys are complaining about shooting a dink they're just bummed they didn't get mr. Big.

Why do hunters make it sound like thier complaining when they harvest a animal[deer] and then say this is my dink like its small but i shot it anyway who really cares how big ur deer is its the joy of the hunt the whole experince if u dont like DINKS dont shoot em let them grow to be big bucks
My question is why in the world would this offend you? I could care less who shoots a small deer or what they call it. I've shot my share of dinkers and will probably shoot many more.

I believe that he is saying that any animal harvested should be respected, and shrugging your shoulders and calling your deer a dink is somewhat disrespectful to the animal. Kinda an ethics thing........I think

I believe jamming a bullet at 3000fps plus through a deer's vitals is much more disrespectful than calling him a "Dink". I have disrespected deer for many years, "Dinks" and others alike. In the end they all die the same and the BBQ could care the less about the antler score. ;)

This is what I took away from it too. I know a guy who is always ashamed of his deer if it isn't a good sized 4x4 at least. It's too bad he will harvest an animal when he isn't proud of it.
BTW, I shot five does before I could even get a "dink".

I passed on a mule deer dink in the summer archery season this year. Glad I did because I just saw a much bigger 4 pointer last week. You can't tag the big ones when you'll instantly settle for the smaller ones.Define 'Dink'. My 3pt with eye guards may seem small (or a dink) to many that have harvested heavier beamed and more pointed bucks. But that particular ridge has been a challenge for my hunting capabilities. He's a trophy to me this year for personal reasons. 165 pounds at the butcher with his neck dragging the floor, is meat in the freezer. I'm a meet hunter. A big rack is a bonus. (Deer and women :chuckle: ) My buddies 3x4 without eye guards wasn't as wide or tall and weighed 20 pounds less at the butcher. Although smaller than several of the bucks he's taken, I doubt he'd ever call him a dink.
I didn't read the other thread, but I do agree that it is the hunters own perogative to call his/her deer what-ever they want. Some have different perspective on what is a dink/small racked/small bodied deer. There are a lot of 'dinks' I'd be quite happy with.

"DINKS" :chuckle: :chuckle: Well we are talking about dinks so........Who cares how big it is, I just enjoyed the hunt, and the experience was great. You can't eat the horns. I don't care too shoot small deer, but it was the last day of my season. I could have shot a 4x4 on the first day, but I passed beacuse it was the first day yada yada yada :rolleyes: :chuckle:
That is the "Dink" from hell! Well done, off to the BBQ with him! :tup:

Sheesh....... 8)
I just can't imagine someone getting offendinded because someone else called a deer a D#&k.
Post by: Biggerhammer on October 26, 2012, 02:19:46 PM
I thought dink was a widely used perfectly acceptable word? It is the exact word I used to explain several of the bucks I have seen this season to my hunting buddies. I don't see how it is any different from calling a small buck a small buck?
Wouldn't want to offend the deer, would we? :chuckle: If the current administration gets another 4 years, there could be a possibility that the deer may have voting rights, especially if they are "Non Documented" deer. :chuckle: ;)

Moral of the story is, if you want to call your own deer a dink, that is on you, but dont ever cheapen someone else's hunt/animal with your accessment of it. As long as it is completely legal, they ALL have a level of greatness. I would brag up a guy that shot a spike and did it legally before anyone that took a masher in any illegal way.

Funny topic that hasnt meant more to me than this year. I drew one of the better elk tags in the state. Hunted hard but butted heads a little with my partner. I ended up taking a good bull IMO and was pumped because it was my first with a bow. I was all pumped and when we got back to camp my partner (who seemed not impressed with the bull to begin with) made the comment to another guy that "he just shot a DINK." I dont think he knew i heard it and dont care, just killed the mojo and cheapened a tag i waited 13 years for.

It would have been worse if that elks buddy would have heard that comment. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
