The deer in a lot of states are much smaller than ours. I just returned from Memphis, talking to hunters down there bragging about the 130 pound ten point buck he shot. Apparently, 110 to 120 is the norm in that area.
Northern states however have much larger deer, closer to ours in size.

The worst part is when they get all emotional and start hugging, slap'n the high 5's and shaking each others hands.
If any of you have the unfortunate luck to hunt with me DON'T ####ING TOUCH ME after I shoot a deer, just get a knife and shut up.

LOL. The "Praise Jesus" crowd really get to me. Like God or Allah really gave a flying #### at a rolling donut whether some fat Rebel Coonass just shot a 120 lb 4 point. Yeah, God was on your side Bubba
. Those starving, raped children in Darfur don't hold a candle to you in His eyes.Shoot a deer with me, just buy the beer on the way home. We can use the Lord's name all you want when we're 12 into a two-four.
I was watching an American TV hunting show and was quite surprised . I've worked around guided hunting in Canada most of my adult life and the shows were an amazing dillusion (or so I thought). They showed what looked like a small bus tour of 8 guys shooting a dear at around 150 yards. I couldn't quite tell what was going on but there was so much drama in the taking the shot I almost fell asleep. The only thing that wasn't done was the animal wasn't tied to stake.
I was a bit surprised that they had shot like 4 or 5 dear each that week and it was "no big deal."
I then had a chance to talk with a Barge captain that works in my tenure area and he is from the great State of Mississippi (spelling) and I learned a few things about "managed hunting." It sounds like there are gazillions of them there donkeys and just keeping the numbers down is a real challenge. People actually cultivate hunting grounds. Living in western alberta and now BC it was a bit of a culture shock as hunting around here means getting wet and climbing steep hills, the rocky mountain road hunter keeps the big animals in the back country and the world keeps spinning.
They just do things different and it actually have to harvest large numbers of deer (bang bang bang bang) to keep the heards healthy. Had I not talked with Bubba the barge captain i never would have known......
cheers,

you sound like someone I would like to hunt with. Except one problem. DONT TOUCH ME "BEFORE" ... NOT JUST AFTER.
Why do people take pictures of dead animals? If it is some amazing trophy size great = meat sucks, when was the last time you took a picture of your burger or some nice peice of chicken? but hey..... just my cranky smiling opinion.

Thank you. Gonna come off sounding like a wuss, but after I kill an animal, it's time for quiet reflection...
...and then I break out the cutlery.
No fanfare, no high-5's - nothing more than perhaps a grunt of approval.
