RE: I am not being a smart a--
As long as they don't have a milk mustache or spots, well they're legal. LOL Really, your examples are way off. If an animal never gets beyond 40 pound and you wanted to hunt one, then 30 pounds isn't so bad. Each animal has to be considered by itself.You can't just talk pounds of meat or no one would ever hunt doves, or rabbits or squirrels etc. There's nothing wrong with whacking a year and a half old critter. The meat is excellent. And don't say... aside from the meat... because really that's why I hunt. I don't count horns. I really don't do much "Hunting Camps". I hunt by myself with the bow. It's me and the critters. I could care less about what folks in a hunting camp would think. I usually shoot better deer and more than they do anyway. Size really has nothing to do with it. For example, I can think of nothing more useless than shooting an elephant. I have no desire to even think about such a thing. I'd rather weigh his poop pile and search for the world record.
