Hello fellow mule deer fanatics, My name is Bobby and i won a governors tag in Colorado this year,i have always dreamed of holding one of these tags and this is truly a dream come true for me. I purchased two tickets that's what i could afford.With economy down i have been working 3 jobs and scratching to make ends meet,to top it off my main income job we lost our hired man and my wife had some severe health issues and needed my support.She is way more important than a buck.I have been hunting with my father since i have been old enough to walk and second to only my church and family hunting is my life. i am telling you this to let you know where i am coming from and in no way bragging or trying to sound arrogant.a great friend of mine posted on here asking for help as our luck has been on the poor side Almost every response i got,dumped on one mule deer hunter or another, to the point of me getting on here. this is usually not my thing. love seeing pics of big deer and hearing about hunting but politics that our ruining our beloved sport are sickening! What has happened to enjoying seeing your neighbor or friend or at least a fellow stump humper hater take a beautiful buck and appreciate the animal? i have been offered several field bucks and money deer, i have nothing against a trespass fee,finder fee,or any such things,several of my friends make a good living that way.i have 3 kids and it's almost Christmas,if i was a man of means i could afford it but i am just a working man.i made a few offers to people that i could trade out some taxidermy work as a finders fee,i run a small taxidermy business on the side as job number two,after people learned of one of the people i have studied under they decided they would not want that as they didn't care for his personality,never questioned my work, integrity nothing just totally judged me based on a friend who has tried to help me? I understand people get mad at people, i do it too.Why would you judge me off of him? thing is i only told this to a few people that i thought was appropriate as this is how they make their living.Most of whom i have defended to people who have not had nice things to say. i feel the way i was judged was the same as what kind of truck i drive?i have been so grateful for all my help on this the hunt of a lifetime and for sure a once in a lifetime hunt,if you think i "don't want to spend money on a deer" you are wrong, i can't spend money on one. if you think i am the same as everyone i am friends with, work with or am associated with,you are shallow! I am very embarrassed i asked for help, i have met some great people, but jealousy and envy and hatred grudges are killing the excitement and joy more and more every season every year. I guess if you have something bad to say about anyone i am not interested in your help.same goes as for judging me for the actions of others, it is not my place to judge or yours. one man will judge us all.so i regretfully withdraw our asking for help.if you honestly want to help great but i will not sour my hunt with negative things,i know me and my family,blood and others.we will have a blast!!!!!!! our buck may not be as big but we will hunt hard and share memories ups and downs fun and pain together the way it should be. nothing would make me happier then to kill a giant but have come to the conclusion it probably won't happen.but we will have a great hunt,anyone who loves the hunt is welcome. hope nobody takes this wrong but this is just me saying hey lets go hunt and forget the drama and back talk.the way it should be.
