i've only read the first 6 pages of this thread, and i'm beyond fed up with it. every area is different, producing bucks that are different, for hunters that are different, and all run by 'legislators' that are different and so on and so on.
if it's a trophy in your mind take it, if not fine, let it go for the next guy who thinks it is and we'll all be happy.
just quit your bitchin and go huntin'!!!!!
