The reason some states have made it illegal to kill them has nothing to do with the deer at all, it has to do with non-hunters. People piss and moan about the deer because it is " special" but in all truth, they are genetically inferior!

The reason why someone would shoot one???? Well, first off it is a deer, and they are deer hunting! It is what they are after and what they have put so much time and effort into trying to kill. They are also rare, which makes the deer unique, another thing people like! Like another guy said, if you had a 290" non-typical in front of you, are you going to shoot it? It is a rare deer!!!!
