RE: little ones make big ones
Some people don't care.
Why is that so hard to understand?
They don't care.
They don't hunt because they want huge antlers. They hunt for the pure enjoyment of the sport.
Let me guess your response;
"They can shooot a doe instead of that little basket rack."
Again, they don't care.
It doesn't matter to them.
Its all about the experience.
I'm not a trophy hunter, but I do practice QDM. Take the buck I tagged this year for example, it was a cull deer. 4x2, the two point side being taller and having more mass than the four point side. He needed to be taken out of the herd anyhow. Was he a huge deer? No. Am I happy with it? You better believe it.
Let me say it one more time, because at this point I know you're just chomping at the bit waiting to reply to this telling me that I'm wrong, that people who shoot little bucks can just as easily shoot does instead;
They don't care!
