This may come as a shock to you , but your state F&G department doesn't exist solely to fulfill your dreams of big bodied , huge racked bucks . Their job is to manage the herd as a whole , and to protect the health of the resource , not produce an endless supply of trophy animals for you to shoot . If that's all you want go to a game preserve and take a number .

BTW , if you want to pressure them about something that really is important then try lobbying that numb nuts ARF commissioner of yours to reinstate the bear hunt before one of them eats you on the way to your stand .
