Sylvan....
I apologize if you think I was being too harsh.
O.K. let's start over...
If they told me I couldn't shoot a buck for a coupel of years I'd like it. that's just me, though. Killing a buck......just to say I killed a buck means nothing to me.
But killing a trophy buck just to say you killed a trophy buck does mean something? I think the difference between you and those that agree with you and many other hunters is that you seem driven only by the prospect of taking a trophy sized buck and you'd be willing to give up the prospect of killing anything less for that opportunity. Again, that's fine with me but that's not a trade everybody is willing to or would even want to make even if it were gaurenteed. You say you don't understand it? Well I guess there is no need of any of us to understand what exactly drives another hunter but we all should at least respect it.
Take care!
(sorry to all for getting so off topic)
