One mans trophy cold easily be considered a world record to someone else. Hunters numbers vs, deer populations vary greatly across the country. I know people that say, I'd never shoot anything under 130", and another who says he won't kill a buck unless it scores at least 160. Well, which one of these guys is right? The 130 guys thinks I'm nuts for a brown is down, meat in the freezer attitude and the 160 guys thinks were both wrong????

I asked both of these guys once if they were flying in the mountains, and they crashed, how would they survive. Starving and having a rifle as a means to hunt with, would you wait for a "trophy" to come by, or would you shoot the first deer you see LOL. They didn't have an answer.
