Very valid point. In a lot of places these days deer are fed much better than they have ever been thru history. Does that make for some bigger deer than would otherwise be? Probably. Are they any less difficult to kill, not really. What if all your neighbors have food plots, your little chunk is a funnel or bedding area, and you whack a biggun no where near those plots, but he got big off them. The books and scoring systems are cool and all just to see people get nice deer and to have a way to picture in your mind how big a deer is, but if a person is hunting PURELY for a number, then I think that is rather shallow.
