If money was no object, I'd pay through the nose for a monster whitetail to hang in my office. I don't have to be the guy that shot it to appreciate an exceptional buck.

Also, if I harvested a buck, found a shed, or somebody gave me a rack, I would think that I would like to have the option of selling it. Matter of fact, I wouldn't mind selling some of my old ones, b/c I'm overrun with antlers that I've been collecting since I was 10. It's better than throwing them away, that's for sure.

In contrast, as noted above, it does encourage poaching, which sucks.

I guess I don't have a problem with it at all. I look at it as a property right, I suppose.
