i've been following this discussion for a while and i really can't agree with you on this bowyer fella... i think it's rather insulting that you call hunters who question a regulation as irresponsible- is it really responsible that hunters are forced not to shoot a buck for the freezer, because it has a small rack?? has penn's deer health quality really diminished because of liberalized shooting of bucks?? another thing- illinois doesn't practice qdm and texas is an exception to the rule- most public land down there doesn't produce premier whitetails like you think they may...
