even an expensive outfitted hunt doesn't mean you go home with a monster most times.
and many trophy hunters take does/cows for meat but pass on immature bucks/bulls.
In fact I would argue trophy hunters in many cases take more does than a lot of these so called hunters do, I know guys who will shoot the first buck they see, 1.5yo....dink, and feel like the man when they do! but take a doe? pssh they wouldn't think of it!
yes i agree,most trophy hunters do practice deer management,they do this so that they may have quality bucks to take in the future.most trophy hunters also are not trigger happy shooting young bucks before they can mature,im thinkingmost ppl that are against trophy hunting are guys that just dont have the skills or patiance to get a trophy so they turn around and say trophy hunting is bad just so that they may feel better about themselves for takeing the first thing they see,these ppl are not hunters.go to the store and save the hunting for the more experianced ones.
