How many people kill a ram like the one in your avatar? How many run of the mill whitetails would a guy pass up to shoot something like that? Those opportunities don't exist in many places. Many of you live there and are complaining about it. I read about how you have to go ten miles back to see anything. You can't go ten miles back anywhere except maybe in Maine. I'm not complaining and I'm certainly not saying you get to do that and I don't. I could do it if I make different life choices. You made those choices and it's awesome you did. I really mean that, I'm not being a smart ass. It's just difficult to hear people complain about places that are literally only a dream to a lot of people.Maybe we can have an honest conversation about tag allocation when we stop comparing hunting an animal with a population density of 15-25 per square mile to an animal with a population density of less than 1 per square mile. I know plenty of guys that hunt whitetails very successfully and selective on 5 acres or less.
Grateful is a poor choice of words. Noone is born with lead in their shoes. Everyone is free to make a priority list and move to wherever they feel best suits them. I guess I am grateful God gave me the stones to leave the nest for a place with better opportunities that align with my priorities.
Hard pass on stepping foot east of the Mississippi. You don't have to convince us that it sucks. We know it sucks, that's why we choose not to live there.....
