. . . . Im scratching my head because we didnt have all that bad of a winter last year so winter kill should have been pretty easy on the deer population.
Can't really make a knowledgeable comment
about things there in the totally different
region and climate. I can say that the antlers
people around here shoot only the big rack
bucks that are the "desirable " breeding
stock. I've always understood from the
few different kinds of animals I've raised
the the big mature stock with the desirable
characteristics were not slaughtered, but
nurtured and protected, and the young
unproven stock was sold or slaughtered
for meat. Maybe that's all different now.
Anyway, I don't care if somebody wants
to only trophy hunt or meat hunt or what
as long as their means and methods are
by the rules.
My moto is hunt your own hunt and let
me hunt mine
