What is going to be said when PETA or the HUMANE SOCIETY complain about wildlife being managed for Trophy hunting and not food/population control. At this point in history, despite the factthat we as hunters area clear minority, the people asa whole still support us in our sport because we have always been able to claim that we are ultimately protecting the animals and the environment and that our actionswere based upon sound science. WHat happens in the future whenthe game departments are asked to explain the reason for the trophy hunting other than plain blood lust.What about guys instates like New Jersey.With a governore like corzine, they could easily have the entire Deer season cancelledas easily as they cancelled the bear season if they had AR in place without any rhyme or reason other than the hunter's trophy quest. What kind of scienceis that?how long before New York or Pennsylvania or any other state gets as modern and PC as NJ?Maybe some of you NY'ers have seen too much outdoor channel or something, but this ain'ttexas or wisconsin or anywhere else where you can take hunting for granted. Were' lucky we can still carry rifles in the field. If you don't exert a little self control someone else will do it for you. Are trophy antlers that important?

Ever wonder why you don't see dead deer in the open draped over the hood of a sedan or on the roof of a car anymore? Somethings changed and we all know it.
