[/quote] Wow…thanks for the reality lesson…I just assumed all high school players were good enough to be drafted. ;D I’m not gonna drag this out but yes, it was a shot by bball11 at these two boys and I didn’t like it…but I did notice that when he said it he “hated” to break it to us

I still think to this day if they woudl have made atleast 5 more free throws they would have been playing for a state championship that year. IMO free throws are as easy as you want them to be, I've seen players just staright up panic when they get the free throw line. Then I've seen other players get up there like its nothing and sink the biggest two shots of the season....its all about muscle memory [/quote] I agree with everything you say.  However, sometimes, a fluke comes along.  Ask LeBron how he felt yesterday when he had two shots to tie the game with the Celtics in the last 10 seconds.  Sometimes the mental aspect influences the muscle memory. [/quote]True, but I also heard the ESPN announcer quote some sick percentages from Lebron when the game is near the end and the score is close..... something like 90-95% during that time. The only problem with the percentages is sometimes those "5-10%" chances actually happen. [/quote] This wasnt ANY game- it was the Celtics [/quote]Ok.............. Are you allowed to miss a shot against the 76'ers and not the Celtics? [/quote] The suggestion is the pressure is greater against the celts than the sixers.  YOu may make a 6 foot putt with me and miss it with Tiger in the foursome [/quote] Yeah, Tiger might spit on you! ;D

[quote name="desethion" post="928625" timestamp="1291817281"] that was one of the most boring games i have ever seen. lumberton coach played stall ball and just didnt want to get blown out type of game plan. i mean it gives them hope and might be brillant on his part. some times you just know that the matchup arent in your favor [/quote] Hey, you do what you gotta do.  So far the Lady Raiders have beat Westbrook, lost by 1 to Jasper, and came up with a game plan last night to at least stay in the game.  It will probably be a tough year but they are a young team and have all stepped up and played well together.

[quote name="rip2506" post="925817" timestamp="1291482218"] I was in the local Academy the other day when a gentleman told me he could routinely hit targets out to 1600yds back in his military days.  My comfort zone is 200yds and my best shot was a lizard broadside off a building at 15 paces with my daisy! :D  Double lung and did not have to track him! Nothing beats shooting them (deer) with a bow right under you though. Speaking of has anyone else seen the new Tred Barta on Versus.. Dude kills a 4pt  Texas buck at 28yds. Long Bow..  out of a wheel chair.  Tred's arrogant at times but I love that dude! That was a trophy! [/quote] Tred is the man...just listen to his theme song! 8) It is amazing the animals he has taken with a longbow...and even after he's disabled and in a wheelchair...he still gets it done...gotta love it!  He is the man!

Prayers to the Sanchez family from Lumberton.

[quote name="643" post="916334" timestamp="1290431533"] I know first hand what goes in and out of that shop being that he's my Bro, your correct on what your saying >no dought< but when looking at the whole picure its for the best. One thing my Bro will tell you is he's seeing more and bigger deer come in this yr than in the past, last yr he was down on his E Texas bucks because of it being the first yr for the ARs. Hopefully in the future TPW will do something to adress the issues and they VERY WELL know the problem. Yrs back when we were a 1 buck county an ex sports writer for the paper I hunt with called Clayton Wolf in Jasper and voiced his concern on this very issue, the response was "[b]sometimes you have to do what you have to do[/b]".... [/quote] I hope TP&W can figure out a way to include cull management in their plan because what your buddy was saying is correct ...it's gonna happen anyway.  I would just hope we can come to a legal solution. I have a deer that I have seen this year that needs to be taken...he is probably 4.5 to 5.5 years old (not an expert at live aging...best guess) roman nose, gray face , pot belly and huge body and I'm not sure he's 13.  Heavy,heavy horns with stickers all over...8 point with crab claws on end of main beams.  Definitely needs to be taken out...I'd love to take him cause he'd be a great bow kill...but I'm just not sure.  I would just like to see an option for this type of deer...every club/landowner has them.

Wait a couple of more years and watch the results. [/quote]Or you can go to your local Taxidermist and see the results so far>>OUTSTANDING... [/quote]LumRaiderFan there is a Taxidermist in Lumberton, go see what kind of bucks are comming in, you mite be amazed..... [/quote] Moye's has been mounting good bucks for years from East Texas...even before the 13" rule.  Good bucks didn't just start showing up. I'll stand by my point...allow clubs/landowners to take out inferior deer that degrade the herd.  It's a management tool that has been used and proven...although not anymore in 113 counties...and it works.

[b]After reading a few more threads on a bowhunter's forum, I have come to the conclusion that there could be exemptions to the AR's like if a biologist or game warden ages the deer at 4.5 year old or older or if maybe it could be that the deer is 150 pounds or more, then the AR's do not apply. If such a move was made however, I think the AR's should be very strictly enforced with no slack given and very heavy fines issued. If a hunter is going to make the call that a deer is only 12" wide but is obvious a mature deer then he had better be able to back it up or pay dearly. [/b] I can agree with this...Allow an exemption for a cull buck to be taken.  When you take an inferior deer, you improve the herd, If a game warden makes the call that you took a young healthy buck that should not have been taken...you should be fined.

[quote name="tvc184" post="912096" timestamp="1290094195"] Like the other areas that have had AR's in place for a few years, the east Texas hunters will be drug along kicking and screaming. Look at any of the hunting forums from the people that hunt in those areas and ask them if they wish to get away from AR's. The results outstripped their anger at the government telling them what to do. Many of the ones that complained the loudest are now their biggest proponents. [/quote] For every one you find that likes the restriction, I can find 3 that don't like it.  I'll keep calling Austin and lobbying for the ability to kill cull bucks in East Texas where I hunt and you keep applauding the restrictions while hunting in a county that more than likely doesn't apply them. I guess I have more condidence in the ability of East Texas landowners/clubs to manage in a responsible manner than some!

[quote name="bullets13" post="911519" timestamp="1290021629"] if you let private land owners and leasers start defining what a "cull" is on their property, we'll start seeing people "cull" 1 1/2 year old 4 points again. [/quote] Over half the counties in Texas do just fine without restrictions.  How do you explain that?  If I applied your logic the bloodthirsty hunting masses would kill everything in sight unless restrained by the antler restrictions.

[quote name="westend1" post="911414" timestamp="1290012047"] [quote author=LumRaiderFan link=topic=61122.msg911350#msg911350 date=1290007470] [quote author=westend1 link=topic=61122.msg911336#msg911336 date=1290006381] [quote author=LumRaiderFan link=topic=61122.msg911331#msg911331 date=1290005913] [quote author=tvc184 link=topic=61122.msg911304#msg911304 date=1290004071] Then why do all of the AR counties all show a fairly quick improvement in their deer herds. It would be folly to ignore the results. Like it or not, this program works (and again, not a perfect solution). We will all benefit from it and soon. [/quote] I don't agree that you do see a fairly quick improvement in the herd.  Big bucks have been killed in..for example Sabine county for many years.  The antler restrictions did not cause this.  Lots of good clubs have managed there for years..that's the difference. Do this...pick up the phone and call TP &W and tell them you have several cull bucks < 13" on you property.  Ask them what are your management options.  I have called and they will agree there needs to be an option to take inferior bucks but right now there isn't. Give land owners/managers a [b]cull option[/b]...that's my simple point! ...one inferior buck that walks this year can lead to many in five years. It would be folly to ignore that point! [/quote] So, how are you going to define "cull"?    There is already a provision for non-forking horns.  What else do you want to put in the law? [/quote] Don't want anything else in the law...don't really want this one without cull exceptions.  Successfull clubs and landowners have managed their herd without interference very well because they have a vested interest in improving the deer quality whether it's for bigger bucks for members or more cash per deer for the landowner.  Keep the restriction for public land...fine by me...just let private landowners/clubs manage their herd. [/quote] You were the one that mentioned a "cull" option.  I just wondered what you meant.    Some people think a 2 year old 6 point is a cull.   Some people think deer that have larger horns on one side than the other are culls.    A "cull" exception, without a definition is pretty useless. [/quote] Let the club/landowner define cull.  Some clubs have experienced hunters that can age a deer on the hoof and then determine if he scores well enough for that age.  Others may apply an minimum point count and some may say anything with less than one brow tine goes. Let the private landowner/leasee define their version of cull.  That method has worked well for a long time without having a "defined " cull law in place. TVC had a picture that was a 120" + deer that he "culled" from the herd because of the great quality area he hunts in.  One man's cull could be anothers trophy. We don't need a cull law...there is no one size fits all that will work.
