RE: Hunting Contest - Mature vs. Immature Bucks
To have a big buck contest based on rack size isn't equal for all hunters on a forum like this. While the occasional 150+" buck is taken in the southeast they are kind of rare. Just like if somebody wanted to have a big largemouth bass contest the area of the country that has larger deer will probably have consistently smaller largemouth bass. A contest on a regional type of basis would be more equal. One man's trophy may be another's camp meat. It would be just as biased to have a contest based on total pounds of deer killled. Some states you have two or so season limit and parts of the south you can legally shoot 200.
