its unfortunate you think this way wolfen! That book fever has taken over your brain!
I have harvested a fair amount of game, From Dall sheep to whitetails with my recurves and longbows now. But I tell ya, last year when mr 4pt strolled by and I called him to 5 steps, my arrow cut the top half of his heart, and my paps and I trailed him 40 yards into the woods, I never would have thought to regret it! Not one bit...
If you want the state to worry about antler size, then submit a proposal to change your laws. But dont tell me not to shoot a spike moose if the opportunity presents itself!
I think most meat hunters are also trophy hunters. That said, I dont know one meat hunter that wouldnt pass on a big ole whitie or moose if the opportunity presented itself!
We all gang knowledge and self gratification in the years we are able to spend afield and the experiences we encounter along the way. For some its that big ole burly 12 pointer with a drop tine on each side. For someone else, its shoot that nice fat doe.
But to bash someone for harvesting a legal deer....shame on you!
If you want them big, then farm them big, but dont tell me or the rest of use how to harvest our crops! enuf said.
