i would say 50 % or more of deer hunters wouldnt deer hunt if they didnt have antlers, that being said i enjoy shooting does
Ithink your numbers are significantly skewed and demonstrate the rack hunting mentality that seems to be perpetuated by state game commissions that want big racked back to bring in more out of state money, not by people that hunt.

Most people hunt to enjoy the outdoors, not to kill racked animals.

Germ,

I spent most of my life huntingaround Johnstown,PA starting from 12 yrs old. Most of the population loves to hunt for the sake of harvesting a deer whether buck or doe. Gary Alt started the whole garbage about creating a better buck to doe ratio to try and get bigger racked bucks and more out of state hunter funds. It's decimated the deer population in the public hunting areas in the area I grew-up hunting and stopped me from buying a license the past 2 yrs for PA. No, I don't hunt just to shoot something. However, when you sit all day in a stand in crappy weather you want to at least see a tail.
