It wasn't a sport when you grew up doing it. It was primarily for feeding a family. Deer hunting has become so commercialized it's ridiculous.
Some Just Don't Have The Money
But all Deer Hunters I've always basically hunted for meat. So not much invested. Like hunting Public Land where there is Grain Crops but have done ok on other. If a Big Buck comes along I will shoot it.
Went for many years not Deer Hunting because there wasn't huntable number but had a very good time hunting Small Game. I was 16 before I seen my first Deer track, it was on a 300 acre Farm we was renting. Killed my first at 19 in Central Missouri out of a herd of couple dozen. Winter when they was yarded up counted hundreds.
Seems like so many anymore just hunt Deer for the fun and Big Racks and put thousands into it. They seem to be the first ones to put down a person hunting Public Land and if it is Brown it's Down.
Wonder why they do this? I'm not saying anything about the way they go about it, so why so many want to poo poo the way I do it?

I had 100 acres that I just farmed was told back then it wasn’t big enough but in most part I figured I made money not when doing taxes but.
If I had hundreds of acres it would be geared to Farming more than Deer but I would still hunt it.
My wife says forget buying we’re too old now. She don’t even want leasing because it cost too much.

The Big Grin is Country at heart.

He has a nice fishing pond and won't be able to keep him away.
That is what my Son had on his 5 acres, plenty of Deer and Turkeys.

Then oneshot took the Big Grins friend from his Son.
You answered your own question. The reason people give Brown and Down hunters a hard time, is because for almost 40 years now, you can find deer by the hundreds, in almost every patch of woods across the state. Shooting the first little stupid deer that walks out, is not a challenge in the least. Being able to kill ANY deer means you aren't a 5yo little kid, and that you can actually sit still and be quiet for a cpl hours, then manage to shoot your weapon with at least decent accuracy, none of which is any type of accomplishment for even the laziest of hunter. It's a sport and if you aren't any good at it, expect to hear about it from those who are. It doesn't take a ton of money to consistently kill decent deer. It takes the desire and drive to be good at what you're doing, instead of being a half-asser.But all Deer Hunters I've always basically hunted for meat. So not much invested.

Grab a gun, bow, atl-atl, xbow, what ever and go hunt within the regs.
Worrying about what other people think of your hunting is wasted worrying.
Does the venison taste any different to you if camoninja thinks it came from a dink? I doubt it...... The real issue is, people just need to hunt for themselves, and not worry bout what some other bag of hot air thinks about their hunting.
Deer make good targets. :tup:
