[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 823934, member: 4319"] Hunting is what YOU make it. I hunt the woods, I don't corn feed. I hunt rugged terrain and have spent all my life using trial and error just to find where deer travel. I don't have an ATV, I have boots. I sleep in a tent, no camper trailer. Cook on a fire. I hunt every possible minute I can get away with it. If you like to hunt old school there is no reason you cannot do so. How other people hunt should have no bearing on how I hunt. I don't give a crap if Jimmy Bob rides a fourwheeler to a box blind and sleeps in a heated camper at night. Just because everybody else does it does not mean I have to Hunt how you like, the hell with what everone else does. What? The ODWC is one of the better departments in the region. They are far from money hungry, and are entirley self supporting. I sure don't think anyone at the ODWC is in it to get rich. Kind of a love of the game (pun intended) job. Yes, I have seen alot of monster bucks killed in Eastern Ok. I am just saying on average, in my area the bucks do not have the body weight or the rack size of a farm/crop land deer. If you took a sample of 3 1/2 year old bucks from Cherokee or Adair County and compared it to Woods or Roger Mills I am the Western deer are going to be heavier and sport larger racks. Bottom line with almost 50,000 of 111,000 deer killed last season being does, I think we are doing pretty good. If that gets out of whack, I would support going to a 1 buck limit so people would be more choosy. But I don't like antler restrictions or earn-a-buck. Especially earn-a-buck, that would flat out suck for me. IMO everything is fine they way it is for the time being. [/QUOTE]
