Sad to hear that some of the guys just had to fill their tags , that really pisses me off. Why go through all of that to shoot a dink and screw things up long term. I have always thought that the outfitters that had fines in place for substandard deer were helping the overall cause.
Glad to see a lot of guys from here still went though. Its always been about the experience of hunting a new and exciting place and the thrill of the hunt for me. A big buck was a bonus. If tag sandwiches had calories I'd be a fat guy, but I could care less about that on a distant trip with the potential for a booner. I can meat hunt at home.
