Why does a "trophy" hunter in search of a "better" (whatever that means) buck have to infringe on everyone else's hunting?
Exactly, I started to get into hunting mature deer for the challenge. AR, BTW have nothing to do with mature deer. Well many of these buck were killed by cars not hunters. After having this happen and getting all bummed out about it, I just started hunting for the fun of it again. You want to kill a 6 pt that's 1.5 yrs old because it makes a three pt on a side rule great. Just don't infringe on my right to kill a 4 pt that's 1.5 yrs old.
I really believe that the more hunting becomes about the size of the rack instead of the hunt the easier it will be for us to loose our ability to hunt.
