Ry: why force any hunter that is happy with a spike to pass on it? Just so that spike MAY grow into a buck someone else thinks is a trophy?
Can't the trophy hunters still pass on small bucks without AR in place if they so choose?
One thing horn hunters always say" I kill as many doe as I can to help the herd an pass on little bucks" well then they should be happy with just killing those does every year and the big rack buck they earn thru their superior hunting skills occassinally.
IMHO a horn hunter has no more right to ask a spike hunter to pass than a spike hunter has to tell a horn hunter to pass on those does.
