I don't like to see states get into the trophy management business. If a club or individual has acerage that they want to voluntarily manage for trophy animals, then great for them. No problem. The problem I have is the young or novice hunter that goes out on private or public land and they are restricted to a management idea. Lots of areas have too many deer anyway.
The state already governs how many deer you can take. They have to in order to avoid the tragedy of the commons. Its no different than regulating the size of the fish caught in a lake.
I agree completely .
I don't need the state to tell me that I
have to trophy hunt , I can choose or reject that all by myself .
