Free range deer get no love!

[bowkill1978]

I totally agree. Nine years ago I was the only person I knew of to ever kill a 200" deer. Now I know a few people that have. Of course mine is free range and theirs are high fence. Also, people who see my deer just assume it's a HF deer. Ticks me off a little....

you know the rules too....

I agree and will take it a step farther, a LF trophy is very regional.

I'd say killing a 150 typical 10 or 12 in the post oak region where I hunt would equal killing a 200" south Texas or Kansas deer. This is an area where 130's are a really good deer and 140's a monster.

yep, looks like a monster! Let's see a better pic.

My perspective is a lot different.
Deer are just walking meat, I never knew we were supposed to use them to measure our manhood.
The same frame of mind that says a big deer counts more if it is killed in Kansas than a high fence place in South Texas can be used to say a big deer in Kansas does not count as much as a smaller deer killed in East Texas.

Does a free range Caribou count more than a South African Kudu

We are all just a bunch of big kids playing in the woods, shoot what makes you happy.

I promise there will always be someone out there that is killing something bigger than what you killed

We all know a 120"+ east Texas free range public land buck is the pinnacle of all accomplishments

[flywise]

I know of a giant buck and the outdoorsman that could kill it get no love because they are going to let it live.
No love if you kill one and no love it you let it live.....go figure

You forgot one element......legally taken....

I agree with what you are saying. I do not have anything near your 209 but I have taken several mature bucks with my bow. They might not score what a HF deer would but I am ****ed sure proud of them.
