Ten,
If you don't drink, and you don't smoke dope, then the only other thing I can figure out is that you don't wear a helmet on your ATV. Have you been taking too many limbs to the forehead???
"EG, get off your self righteous high horse, and walk with the rest of us." Uhhhh, sure Ten, but you seem to have forgot, you DON'T walk, you use a FLIPPIN' ATV!!!
"GH, I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but north Idaho isn't known for it's large racks on whiteys or muleys. A good sized buck around here is a 150 - 160, every once in a while we see something in the 180 range." Uhhhh, Ten, this may be the dumbest statement you have ever made, unless we remember the one about the Nuke reactors at Hanford being shut down, or the one where you wanted to define "spooked", or the one....
Never mind....
If you were to ever get off your ATV, and actually hunt, you would discover that North Idaho has some outstanding Whitetails. I haven't even hunted them very many times, but I have never found a shortage of big bucks. Here is one that was shot WITHOUT the use of an ATV, notice how it is much bigger than yours...
I thought you would like the ATV in the picture... And it was probably shot less than 100 miles from where your buck came from, and I don't even know where that is...
Check out the B&C map, and I think you will see North Idaho holds its' own in the Book.
Ten, do you actually get out much, and spend anytime outside in Idaho, without being on an ATV? This state has more habitat and critters than any other state, if we just flippin' protect them. Someday, you too, could kill a nice buck.
Now, if you are just trying to keep the Out-of-Staters from hunting in Idaho, you don't need to bad-mouth the animals. And I can respect that. You could always post pictures like this one, of the COMPETE destruction of Public Lands in Idaho by the Fat-Assed ATV crowd....
Or perhaps a picture of some
Welfare Rancher's cows on Public Lands in MY PRIVATE IDAHO...
But don't blame the Deer for your lack of horns....
