If everyone was able to shoot monsters, who would give a crap about them anymore? When you see the fn deer ranches, the big ones are trained just like cattle. What is more impressive, a 160+ buck off public land or the same buck on a ranch. That's what I thought. There was a time when shooting big bucks actually meant something. Now its status quot. When 12 year old girls are sitting in outhouses with a film crew shooting deer it kinda takes the sting out of a 12 pointer, don't it.
Of course, what most don't realize is that the worst piece of meat you can put on the table comes from an old buck. Schmuck.
