This general statement is true only when directed toward us all.
The aniti's are spewing their favorite brand of coffee at their local hotspot just reading it. Meat vs. Antlers should be nothing more than hunting style discussion that brings us together. Truth is, none of these deer are going to disappear. The large racked trophy deer will remain. The small buck killed by a meat hunter could easily mean the mature buck will breed for another season. Mature bucks still live and die having had minimal contact w/humans. Much breeding occurs at night anyway ensuring trophy future. Let's not forget every younger buck will become this eventual big racked trophy. Big racks are great provided we don't lose sight that the meat provided should be the ultimate goal. Anyone wasting meat solely for big racks violates the hunting ethics in it's purest form. Carry On!
