Sounds like there is plenty of opportunity then even with those nasty trail cameras on the landscape
I think its great if guys prefer to shoot the 1st animal but just understand they can do that because another group of guys prefer to pass and in my opinion it's easier to pass when cameras are...
Well I know lots of guys to pass up bucks strictly due to cameras, including myself...
And its exactly the same as if I'm using long distance glassing...once I know a certain class exists then it makes being selective substantially easier.. irregardless of the tool I use to find that animal
Lol then obviously you haven't used cameras much...its the main way to get guys to hold out
You should care if younger animals get wacked if you want more tags and opportunities
Changing these tactics will have very little affect on "success"... you can have a guy kill a deer with a scoped muzzy at 200 yards and take it home or you can have a guy hit the deer in the guts with an open sight muzzy and then lose it...bios still consider both when setting objectives...
I don't think changing these rules will affect you in any way...you will still see others be successful and you will still think in the back of your head that "they don't deserve it" and "this" is why it's unfair..."they didn't work as hard as me!!"
It's always unfair when others have more success...you guys can start banning tools one at a time until there won't be anything left
What's next on your ban list?
Stop crying and hunt harder
If Ibex didn't kill them off with disease they would out compete them for resources, it would be an ecological disaster... but in the spirit of the thread it would be super cool
Dang I didn't realize Washington hunting was so bad lol politics/people aside Washington is an awesome state, there is a lifetime of adventure there if you choose to go do it... take advantage of multiseason deer tag, weyco permits, muzzy elk tags, bear tags
I've never had bullets bounce but I've had them blow up, shot placement is king but unfortunately hunters are terrible shots...nothing about a typical hunting situation yields to excellent shooting from the average hunter...its just not that simple....poor decisions will be made....shoulders are...
I'm 31 and just started contemplating making a sheep account in an index fund for the next 5 years..try for like 100 a week contributions and hope for some decent interest 🤞🤞🤞
Efficiency is more important then strictly weight but I've been guilty of paying alot per ounce..often to afford packing weight in another category
It's hard to use a big brush when justifying if the cost is worth it..some hunts yes...some hunts no..some gear yes il spend 100s per ounce while...
