Gentlemen, I first want give my opinion on the original comments about limits....I'm not too young to remember those times and I try to instill in my kids what hunting is really all about. We squirrel hunt, deer hunt, and just get out into the woods together. It's never about getting a limit. Frankly, you couldn't get a daily limit of squirrels in my woods right now in an entire season....

It's true that if you watch enough of outdoor entertainment, that you can get the feeling that's the image they are trying to portray. Remember, though that it's entertainment and it's a huge business. Shows that represent meat hunting just plain don't sell as well as so called celebrities or "professionals" shooting big animals. That doesn't mean that we as parents and mentors shouldn't explain and promote the reality and roots of our hunting heritage. Also, those shows exist...one of the biggest reasons I love watching Fred Eichler and his wife and family hunts. (Easton Bowhunting and Muzzy) They portray family and hunting...and he shoots whatever he can.

NOW: as far as the other comments about personal limits...they are just that and should only be driven by ones self. This is no different than religion in my eyes...I won't push mine on you and you keep yours to yourself as well. Don't say that longrange hunting is wrong and that they only talk about the ones they kill and I won't tell you what I think about flintlocks and roundballs or most people's proficiency with rifle at 100 yards and everything else I've seen...why? Because it does NONE of us any good. Everyone on here hunts, and may hunt in a way that someone else does not like or do himself....does that make it bad or wrong? If in your mind it does, maybe you should join the anti's and help shut down hunting for all, including yourself. In the end, we all answer for our decisions, big and small in all walks of our life... to others but mostly to ourselves. The wasters of deer in Michigan can rot in hell like they leave their deer, they are not hunters they are slobs and should be careful to note that this is exactly they actions being used against ALL of us to ruin what we all love.
