I'll try to keep this short and simple.....

I get a kick out of these threads where guys from different parts of the country are arguing about xxx" deer and why they can/can't kill them. Way too many people on here are a little dense to the fact that big racked bucks don't live everywhere. Why is it that we keep putting xxx" on a trophy buck? In fact, age is what makes a deer a trophy class animal.

Personally, if Jeff kills a 110" 5.5 year old in NC and Greg kills a 145" 3.5 in Il, Jeff's deer is way more of a trophy.

Seriously, why is it so hard to understand that it is all about location? Seriously. Once more, seriously.

I would be interested to see in this fall's contest the age on the deer that are being killed and how that relates to location/region.

One last time.....age is a bigger determining factor in a trophy than rack size.....plain and simple.
