donniedent Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Hey Younghunter, Don't pay any attention little brother. You keep doin' what yer doin' and don't pay any mind to the idiots who have opinions about everything that goes on out there in the sticks. WE"VE ALL MADE BAD SHOTS!!!! WE"VE ALL GOTTEN BUCK FEVER!!! Even 2506 and I guarantee at some point in HIS hunting exploits hes made a bad shot or two. I've personnaly read alot of your posts and I've never seen the attitude out of you that this guy said you had. Don't let this BS get in your head!

25-06 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Hey younghunter, I agree with Donnie on this one Just as long as you're huntin....Thats what it's all about Terry (the only 25-06) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bchoitz Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Younghunter, Once again, let me apologize personally to you for my previous posting. There are always two sides to every story, and I should know that and reserve judgement. It's a failing of mine. If you learn from the negative impact this had on the other hunter hunter and consider this while in the field, you will do all right. We have all had incidents we are not proud of in our past, me included. And right now I am sure my skeletons are worse than yours. I've learned, you will too. Keep hunting safely and courteously.

donniedent Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Notice.... I didn't put the dash between 25 and 06!!! You ARE the only 25-06 baby!! Yeah Younghunter, there will always be someone with an opinion about what you're doin or how you're hunting or how you're shooting but guess what, they aren't in your shoes and they don't know your heart! You can't spend 15 min with a guy that just took a shot at a nice animal and assume to know his motivation for hunting. Shoot, you shoulda seen me after I took 4 shots with my 30-06 at the same Antelope before he finally went down this past Sep., I was a mess. Keep trying to learn and ALWAYS be willing to learn something new and you'll be OK man. Donnie P.S. When people give you crap about buying Swaros, its cuz they're jealous. Lifetime warantee baby... you gotta love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2506 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 I have carefully re-read what I had wrote the other day and I would like to clarifiy a bit of what I was saying. First, younghunter. If it is you that I was talking about, I meant no disrepect to you or your father. I had a good time talking to you and your dad. I ended up leaving a note for you guy's Sunday wishing luck and letting you know I would be down in the same area the next week if you wanted to join me and my buddy since your dad was going to be bird hunting. Second, I never said that the youngster I described shot at rediculous distance. He did not. I only said he had alluded to the fact that he had a lot of gun for hitting deer as he described and having it get along. IT WAS ANOTHER HUNTER, like many I've heard described in other posts, that are so self involved that they can't stand the idea of not being the guy to get the buck. Third, younghunter your ethics were unquestionable. You stayed looking for blood for over an hour. That's more than most and what was aboslutly right. Fouth, I was mearly using my experience with you to illustrate a point. I have been hunting these deer since I was 10, 24 years chasing and taking them, and I have seen attitudes in the recent past that made me question what discussion forms and comments like many I have read are doing to OUR hunting heritage. I wasn't pointing fingers at you nor anyone else on this site but mearly making an observation. I have a December tag in that same unit and won't be shooting unless I know the buck will make the book. I've killed 14 of them filled, every tag I've been liucky enough to get, and it's my turn for a wall hanger. But what I will keep with me are the times I will be sharing with my friends and family. Lastly, I chose the name because I couldn't think of a better tribute to my most fathful hunting companion, MY RIFLE, which has killed all but one of my big game animals to date. I will change my name. It's no big deal. P.S. The only time I would take back a shot I've taken was with my bow not my rifle! I rarely miss and have never lost a big game animal with my gun. younghunter, how did you end up doing? Email me I have got some info to share with you depending on your plans to hunt next year.

az4life Report post Posted November 24, 2005 After reading and re-reading the whole thread, I think I see some real advantages in just "lurking" on a forum. The main point of my posted response was sincere and I believe it was "Dead on". Unfortunately The point may have been obscured by my initial comment about one huntier ruining someone elses hunt. I Can't take it back but I can say it was a poor choice of words. My Apologies to any offended by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEERSLAM Report post Posted November 24, 2005 I understand what 2506 is saying, sometimes the hunt is lost in the SCORE. Also I'm glad he is explaning his thoughts from his first post. I also don't see any problem with his forum name, 25-06 we all know who you are Is everyone out there cool Happy Thanksgiving to all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhunter Report post Posted November 24, 2005 2506--Whoa, just can't believe what I just read. i think it's hilarious how you decided to talk smack about a hunter and then found out that one hunter is on this site and then you change your story... Next time make sure that hunter isn't a member of this site before you go on telling a bunch of tall tale bullcrap because I know for a fact that a huge majority of the stuff you said..you pulled it out of your butt son! By the way good luck on your hunt and i think an apology to younghunter would be nice...rather than making excuses and changing your story Have a great thanksgivin everyone!

DEERSLAM Report post Posted November 24, 2005 Wow, I think some of you are being alittle hard on 2506. I have reread his first post a number of times. Seems that he was just saying younghunters goals may have been set alittle high based on all the talk about big bucks on this site, tv huntin shows, mags, etc. Parents need to instill the importance of the hunt, family time in the woods, etc. not the size of the critter taken. I think most of us have taken a fair number of animals before we started dwelling on horn size and scores. HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND GOD BLESS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
