Interesting disussion here. I am in total agreement with Phade here. Who should dictate to a hunter what sized buck they should be allowed to shoot? Besides, the job of the Department of Conservation and any state game agency is to manage the deer herd, which does NOT mean that they have to manage it for the trophy hunter. Hunters are given licenses to control the population of deer, and concern to how many points a buck has on his head should be of little importance. I have been surprised that anti-hunting groups haven't picked up on this and publicized the fact that a state like PA is currently managing their herd for trophy hunting. Now most non-hunters can accept hunters killing deer for the table, but MIGHTY few will accept killing deer for the sole purpose of acquiring a trophy. If and when they do bring this to the general publics attention, I assure you that state game agencies AND hunters will be on the losing end here!
