For some it is about the horns, big or small. Both sides think they are right. Horn hunters think less of forkhorn shooters and forkhorn shooters think horn hunters waste a lot of time in deer stands.

The folks I'm referrring to shoot bucks because they have a buck tag. Traditionally you could get a buck only or either sex tag in NE. They shot the first deer that walked by with an either sex tag, or the first buck that walked by with a buck only tag. They didn't discriminate about horns with an either sex tag because they were deer hunting, period.

Now you can get 2 doe tags, and a buck only tag. They get all3 so they can shoot 3 deer. They take 2 does and a buck. If it happens to be a 160 class whitetail, as one of the people I'm talking about shot last year so be it. If it happens to be a spike, which the same guy shot the year befor so be it. They like to shoot and eat deer.

FYI, the 160 inch horns are nailed on the wall in the garage right amongst the spikes, forkhorns, basket racks and several in the 125-140 class deer. The only people that ever see them are those that go in the garage. Some people really don't care.
