it all comes back the hunt industry and that trophy buck BULL$$$$ that they have been forceing on us for years. to many stupid hunting shows showing the killing of big bucks.
you should be able kill any size animal you want,and i would if it was on my land. teach a kid how to be a good hunter and to use every part of what he kills. then let him grow up hunting and decide if he wants to be a trophy hunter or not. i know plenty of adults that are very happy killing spike and fork horns. that there choice ,they pay to hunt just like me. in my area just about everyone still eats what they kill instead of giving the meat away,most hunt for the food first ,the trophy comes second.
