Sorry guys and gals, just needed to vent this one out. While watching a prominant show on the Outdoor Channel, a "Guy" was after a 30 inch mule deer. Nothing with kickers, had to be a muley with a 30 inch main frame. I thought this would be good since that is a hard goal to be obtained at least for me it would be. So as I watched the hunt unfold, low and behold a muley appears that looks to be at least 30 inches wide and the hunter kills it. Awesome I thought, can't wait to see it. So as the hunters make the walk to the animal, no sooner than the hunter can pick up the head, without missing a beat the "guide" whips out his tape measure to see if indeed the rack made the mark. I know we have had discussions on this before, but for some reason that really bothered me. I guess the latest and greatest hunting tool is the tape measurer. Don't get me wrong, I love big racks just like the next guy, but hell fire, it is dead, there will be plenty of time to tape it. I guess to me it showed that is the single most important thing was weather or not it made 30. Seemed that there was no respect there, maybe I just took it the wrong way, but it still bothered me. By the way it did make the mark, by a 1/4 inch. An awesome animal no doubt and kudos the hunter.
