The laws of every stae and I guess province in Canada are a bit different so you are going to have to make up your mind on how and what you want to hunt based, at least in part on that. Here in Georgia, we are trying to get a state wide trophy buck program in place (unofficially) some counties already have these regulations. Some WMAs already have these regulations and the regulation state wide changed last year so that one of the two bucks we are allowed must be " Trophy Class" (at least 4 points on one side. It is a start. To make up for that on the meat side, we are allowed ten does a year not counting anything taken on management area hunts. This is an anomaly found here in the south east due to the huge deer populations and decreasing number of hunters available to harvest these animals. There are a relative few Bucks taken each year that are truly " Trophy class" animals but they are few and far between for a variety of reasons, mostly an inferior genetic pool and the fact that we don' t have hard winters to thin the herd of the smaller animals. If you want to hunt trophys only, go for it I will not put you down for it at all. Just don' t try to tell somebody else that they are wrong if they happen to consider a Doe to be trophy class.
