Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting will you ever pay to kill a whitetail?.

Planning on it in 2016. I've got a date with eastern Colorado.

Some places if you aren't guided, you can't hunt (like central Canada). So sure, I have paid to hunt whitetails.

I don't pay to kill a whitetail, but I will pay to try and kill THE whitetail, in fair chase only.

In the end it is whatever an individual hunter finds appealing. I hunt to hunt but don't hunt what I am not interested in the same as everyone else. Unplanned opportunity will continue to be ceased upon like always. That is the reason combo hunts and combo licences are popular.

Somebody always got to start a thread about how their way is superior and every other way sucks. Whether it's ph*ckin or huntin...it's personal, and if you don't feel good enough about your way to just do it without judging how others do it, then you probably need to examine how you do it more than how others do.

no comment at all woulda made more sense then what you said.

That's pretty funny, right there.

I actually think 280's comment makes perfect sense.

Makes sense to me as well.

just a simple question. not meant for simple minds.

Nope, not to kill, but I have, and will for fair chase hunting with the deer behaving naturally. Living in MA that's only possible in bow season, thus why I pay to hunt with rifles out of state, but mostly unguided. While I wouldn't pass up a trophy, its the quality of the hunt that I am looking for, letting me make my own success or failure.

Your last sentence says it all. Each year my wife and I pay and pay dearly for the opportunity to hunt Anticosti. Guided?????????????? If that's your idea of guided. He sets you up with a location and points you in a direction and then success or failure is up to you. Come on guys..........The ONE common denominator is that we ALL hunt. How we hunt is a personal decision and no amount of infighting will change that.


BTW WESTERN Mass is a GREAT place!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone here, on the fire, has a tag line that goes something like this;

Those that spend all their time shooting their mouth off are usually the ones that don't do much real shooting !

IMHO, it usually holds true.

Logic from a wise man !

If only there was more of it

if you only knew......

Funny considering your inability to use words properly or write a coherent sentence.

i can write this,go [bleep] yourself. high fence hunters,bait hunters always get mad.

Is that why you're getting mad?

I paid to hunt this whitetail ( Coues ) in Mexico and will again when I can afford it.

Apparently so do dudes who have to long-arm a dink for their avatar.

so another idiot joins the race.not long arming anything. buck was shot the evening before and had gotten very stiff. it took alittle pull to get his head up for a pic.as far as the dink part,it may be in your book but i'm am happy to hunt and kill the deer we have hear in va. instead of pumping them full of protein then killing them like farm animals.
