...and you thought that this was about Christmas!!!!
Well, actually its about the reasons for hunting seasons, and limits!
I've been seeing questions about 'what a trophy is," and I've seen a lots of "trophy hunters," putting down other peoples kills!
One, a "trophy," is what a trophy is to the individual! A trophy can be a freezer full of meat, a BC buck, or anything inbetween!
Two, the real reason for the season, is population control, and healthy deer herds! I am all for better bucks, and better management! But remember, if all hunters held off for B&C bucks, the goal of game management, and season limits would not be accomplished!
Therefore, except on strictly managed, private property, you STILL wouldn't have big, "trophy" deer! You'dprobably have even less "quality," than we have now! It's great to let the younger bucks walk, but its not always going to happen, so don'tbe too critical of some hunters "trophy freezer!" Its doing what the seasons were really intended to do!
BTW, Christ is the real reason forTHE season! Merry Christmas!
