RE: When did a 140" 8pt become a management buck???
My personal opinion is that it is a good thing that there are hunters only interested in high scoring bucks. There will always be guys that just want a deer for the meat and always guys out for a trophy. As more and more guys pass up smaller bucks they provide more opportunities for the meat hunters. What I truly don't understand is the " meat hunters" that pass up the does and than shoot a young buck. If you have no use for the horns why not take a doe? Either way I am not upset when a hunter plays by the rules and regulations. I am happy when I hear of guys passing on 140 class deer. Only a fool would let others change their perception of what is a trophy in their own minds...........dabow
