Yep my family of five could legally kill just about every deer living near my property. If we kill one maybe two total as a family that’s plenty. Now hogs I don’t care how many you shoot.

Hell, let's take this a step further. You think it's embarrassing to be proud of a 4 or 6 point (that might have been killed off public land, mind you)? You know what's really embarrassing? Parading around a 10 point that you shot over a corn pile like you did something special.
But do I really care about how he killed it or why? No. It's none of my damn business. What makes HIM any better than the guy who's hunting public land hard, and the only deer he comes across is a spike or a 4 point. He's supposed to pass on that deer because YOU think he should? It may be the only deer he has a chance at because he only gets a few weekends a year to hunt.
All good points

One of the most annoying thing I’ve seen lately is men using the word wussy.

No lie...Sunday it was probably low 40's where I was hunting and I closed the window and got it up to 90 degrees in my stand. I keep a full-size propane tank and big heater in each stand, not the little wussy Mr Heaters.

My family of four just ate one backstrap and the two tenderloins of a doe, reverse seared and finished in garlic butter. We could prolly eat 10 deer a year !! However, we choose to shoot 2-4 a year letting young bucks walk and letting the kids get the meat and the adults picking out deer we specifically want to shoot or mature deer only.
That being said that’s what ( we choose) to do, I think everyone gets to a different phase of this game we call hunting and fishing at various stages of their life.
Nobody is hunting or fishing because it’s economical or because they need the meat.

I buy a hunting license and a few trips to the woods about 20 miles away. Usually kill 2-3 deer a year. I spend around $65-75 to have it processed, could do it like a friend of mine, he processes it himself. I can assure you it saves me a ton of money considering how much beef and even chicken can cost. That’s why I don’t mess with paying for a hunting lease, and I’m too cheap for bait.

I hunt for fun. Lb for lb wild game is more than prime beef. Hell I could have bought a vacation home for what I spent to sit in the woods on weekends. Feeding the family is not the goal of 99% of hunters.
The back strap, sausage etc is bonus.

Here in Arkansas, at least there is a 3 pt rule on one side, but you still have them killing little 5 and 6 pts. If you want meat, kill a doe.

I feel the same way you do about trophy hunting. I have been on the bow only trophy hunting train since the mid 90s. I have killed multiple 150 and 160 class deer along the MS River, and I recently shot two free range 180 class bucks in south Texas. I love watching monster bucks, but I can say that I enjoyed deer hunting more when trophy hunting wasn’t a thing. I miss the days when the whole camp helped each other instead of lying about what they have on camera to each other. The lowest point I have ever seen in trophy hunting happened 5 years ago. My then 8 yr old son killed a mid 140s ten point buck with a crossbow. This was his first deer to kill. Several members complained that he had killed a future superstar buck. I really couldn’t believe grown men could act like that. I will always enjoy hunting trophy bucks, but I miss the old days of deer camp when men seemed to just enjoy the whole experience.

Everyone has line they draw. Glad you found yours. Some may or may not draw theirs at having a rifle mounted on a servo that sits in a box stand so they can shoot the deer from an iphone and never leave camp....or home.
Father in law sent me a picture from his iPhone in his stand in Upshur County Texas and it had 27 deer in it around his feeder a lot of big racks.
That’s what he does. He sits in his stand a hundred yards from his house with his iPhone and a bottle of bourbon, watches his deer and takes pictures and eventually drunk texts. They are all fat and happy, he and the deer. He figures if he shoots one he’d have to clean it and that old man ain’t cleaning shite.

Please don’t make fun of what deer post on face book. I was listening to Mark Drury or one of these giants and he said Facebook has destroyed deer hunting.
A guy or kid finally kills first buck it’s a basket or something and he gets attacked so much he quits hunting. Happens every day.
Not a great hunter but I have caught a lot of big fish in my life and in big numbers, my fishing partners are a priest and a guide. I have never criticized someone else catch, none of us have even if it’s illegal. We consider that being a prick in fishing circles.
Yet that seems to be all the rage among hunters???i don’t get it? Who the frick cares? There are more deer now than have ever existed in history. It can’t be hurting you.If they want or can only kill basket bucks so be it. Why not just be happy a fellow hunter had some success?

Right, but it doesn't mean they aren't doing it as an alternative to having to buy meat. If I didn't enjoy venison, I wouldn't hunt deer. The quality/nutritional value of venison is better than store-bought beef. I can put up enough meat with 2 deer to where my family of 3 could eat on it most of the year as a replacement for beef.
Is it economical? Probably not, although I do process my own deer, and only hunting public land cuts down on my costs. It would really depend on what you include in such an economic breakdown. But I'm sure if you looked at it cut-by-cut, venison vs beef, it wouldn't be much difference.

You shouldn't criticize the way others choose to hunt as long as they are legal. Frankly, it's none of your business. They are playing within the rules determined by the wildlife biologists tasked with determining the levels of harvest a herd can withstand.
Hunting is already coming under attack from those on the outside who'd love to see it banned- and love to see us fight amongst ourselves. They don't need our help.
