Rocksteady 2019 Dear Diary

[rocksteady]

Part of my issue is the far side of the river is private (river is not of course) but no way to get across to the sandbars. Too nuch current, too deep for waders, so gotta hang out and hope they cross to me, and then be in a posiotion to make a move.. and its not flat ground.. from the bluffs to the waters edge is at least 120 metres of cliffs

Are they able to hear you???
If so, then if there are some extra bulls around, then there is always a chance one comes to look.
Sometimes more?

Question is, are there any legal ones in the area.
That has definitely been my issue, 5pt at best.

During bow, any bull is legal.. tried a bunch of cow calls.. zero takers

Fact is there are plenty of members of this hunting website that NEVER hunt

And we have ones who think they hunt because they have all the latest gear and spend thousands in gas going out .... but dont ever manage to shoot anything.

And like i say... i am over it.. keyboard warriors..

The most bizarre part of their comment is with regards to "why don't they go get it themselves"?
How do they thing that changes anything? Honestly what's the difference between me shooting and mulie and two white tails vs me shooting a mulie, my wife shooting a white tail and my dad shooting a whitetail? Same amount of deer killed, same amount of people fed. Potentially more tags bought in the first case because my dad and my wife both hunt. End goal is to eat.

I look forward to the pictures Rocksteady!

If you are legally allowed to take 60 fish, where is my place to say you can't? What you do with them is your right of harvest.. if you eat fish 3 meals a day 7 days a week, why should i question it.. if you don't, but "swap" them for venison, fair enuff.. as long as you are within all legal guidelines, not for any if us to question.

If a "vegan" family of 7 only has one hunter in the group, who eats venison, while everyone else eats tofu, does that mean he/she is not allowed to harvest more than they can eat in a year? (The hunter personally, not the aggregate of household)

good points, fair enough

and good luck to you on tomorrow's riverside hunt............

You are not bartering.
You are giving fish to your brother, which you are allowed to do.
And he is giving venison to his brother, which he is allowed to do.

We have bigger problems in this country than to worry about what family give each other for Christmas.
