[QUOTE="429421Cowboy, post: 701596, member: 54332"] Well you can take my words out of context, while also ommitting the "hunters" out of my original statement which reads "hunters or poachers" and draw a conclusion about my potential as a warden if you like, it is your God-given internet right to pass judgment on whatever you like! But to blame poachers for wiping out an entire county's deer population? A bit too far of a leap for me when you consider that the entire state is in a backslide of muley numbers due to biological reasons. This is why in most areas it is now not legal to shoot a doe muley on a general deer tag anymore, because the populations are surveyed and goals are set. Poachers are caught, hunters are regulated to maintain healthy population numbers, which leads me to say, i think it would be hard for poachers (who are caught) or hunters (who are regulated) to wipe out an entire region's deer population. I own alot of land and manage wildlife (not just game animals) for the best possible ballance. I also have many years of training and work in range management (yes sometimes for the state) so i know a thing or two about managing wildlife and livestock together as well, so don't question me knowing the value of a single deer either. I also help run my school's student food bank, to which i also donate several deer to, and see the difference that even one pound of hamburger can make in someone's life. Don't tell me i don't know how many people a poached deer could have fed if it was used properly instead of left to rot in a field. So don't try and tell me a "dollars and cents" value for something that a price can't be put on. This is a fine welcome to a young member to your site, i can really see why I'd reccomend it to other young shooters. Heck, you guys seem like you'd be happier if i dropped out of college and forgot about trying to be a warden. Think about how much money that would save! [/QUOTE]
