Default RE: What's a trophy?

Honestly I wouldn't jump at the chance at hunting one of these ranches. I hunt all most exclusively on priviate property and have a do it your self mentalty. I really don't get as much enjoyment going on an invited hunt because I didn't scout and hang my own stand.

Heck I'd use the $5,500 to $20,000 these folks want and use it for a down payment on a piece of land close to home that I could enjoy every year.

If a buck has little hunting pressure and a good deal of human contact. Is a big rack a good indicatator of a trophy?

Why would the larger older deer be as leery of man as a deer on heavily hunted piece of property?

So what's the big deal if your shooting older bucks on a managed property if they aren't any smarter then a 2.5 yr old on public land?

So what's your answer to any of these questions spey?
