SEXY ?

[jimmy z]

Being proud, is a feeling. If someone feels proud because they feel they have accomplished a feat, so be it. We all do what we feel we need to do to give us satisfaction, or a feeling of pride. We are all entitled to do what we feel we need to do to get that sense of pride.
But wasting or killing without reason, would not fulfill that satisfaction, for me anyway.

As I grow its clear to me that pride is the opposite of the humility,the better qaulity. Pride in its self is selfish which leads to egos and self absorbtion, two things that not only knowone likes but also one of the first things that someone notices. I have a couple deer mounts in the house and almost of my rods are built by me, yeah I take pride in what I do but I'll be the first to admit that I don't take credit for it. I beleive all gifts come ultimently from God, sure MikeCC showed me and PNG showed me and Saltheart showed me just to mention a few, but someone had to show them. Even what we've learned on our own has got to be recognized as gifts for them to have significate falue. The only real thing I can be proud of is in my kids and even that should be put in its place. I am like an adoption parent in this world. Humility should be the focal point after any acommplishment . Knowone cares how many 50's or how many hours you put into your season or how many plugs you have spun... KNOWONE CARES.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

I would have to say that I'm with clammer, I fish for fun, yeah I keep fish sometimes, of course I brag to my close buds when they're not catching fish(all in good fun), I don't do it to say I'm better than them or make them feel bad, it's just what guys do to each other, I also remember times they were catching all the fish and rubbing it in my face, again though, it was close friends joking around more than trying to compete with each other

I didnt see the huntin show you talked about but have seen enough. Many times the hunts are on ranches, especially when it comes to whitetail or boar. Some are open, some are fenced in. The deer are raised to be killed. QDM quality deer management.
Im proud of the 2 110 pound 8 points i have taken with my bow(i know they are small but they are my trophys), and was embarrased when i came back from a huntin trip and went to an aquaintances house to see the biggest deer in my life hanging in the garage. A real 8 point that dressed at more than 200 lbs without its head. His wife shot it at the local "game preserve". Who knew they had alberta deer in michigan. It only cost her 8500 bucks. She bragged and her husband couldnt have been more proud as they recapped the story. She gets to the ranch, takes 2 test shots with a 30/30. They get in the golf cart and the deer start coming out to see whats for dinner. She sees a nice one, the owner tells her the price. She shoots, 20 yard shot. Im happy that they gave me and my buddy the deer. Tasted very good for a deer that big. Gotta love a deer thats fed better than most cows we eat.
Im sure the story of that buck has now changed to include the deepest swamp in michigan in a blinding snow storm and finally getting the legend of the great swamp after 5 seasons on its trail and countless missed shots.
That kind of hunting isnt for me. However, people have the right to so it. If it makes em happy and feel good, so be it.
