I wont allow them to shoot any "trophy" bucks unless they are mature, and I have to know the score of the deer (along with other things) for my personal records
Why should these guys have to listen to you? Do you pay for their lease. What happens if they shoot something not up to your standards?
Where I live the big deer your hunting has as more a chance of getting hit by a car then a hunter getting it.
I decided not to participate in the "contest" because I really don't consider hunting to ba a competition.
The more the empahsis is put on the size of the rack the less support we will see from non-hunters. I'm not talking anti-hunters. It seems like everything is going toward growing big deer, it's a slippery slope.
