I couldn't agree more with Saskguy. I visit this site to get away from the commercialization of deer hunting and to hear real hunters share their stories about their harvest, in their words.
It is disappointing to be brought along for the excitement of the trail cams, then the harvest photos, only to hear that we're going to have to "pay" to hear more about the harvest story and this great deer.
I share my photos and stories with the people on this site b/c they're all whitetail addicts like me, and love a good deer story, not b/c they're trying to make a $ off of me.
Not to take anything away from this great deer, but, there will be many more deer of this "caliber" taken by the very readers/authors of this site, it happens every year. I can't wait to log on every day during November to see who's just scored on their "buck of a lifetime" and read their story. That's what this site is all about.
Congrats on the harvest of a great buck, but, please save the solicitations for another site.
