Yep. Some people are like some politicians I know. They manipulate the facts and quote out of context just to support their stance.
What quotes would you like to see? I have a knack for finding them.

it will be the end of hunting as we know it. That seems to be the concensus around here. Sounds rediculous to me. 
Well...you are right and you are wrong. The future of hunting will depend not on the hunter and not on the anti-hunter or animal activist. It will depend on the vote of the non-hunter 80% of the voting public. They almost solidly, don't approve of trophy hunting. Study done a few years ago...and no I don't have it.
Now the money end of hunting will depend on trophy hunting. The financial aspect is solidly trophy based. I'm sure, somewhere out there somebody has a figure for the total number of hunters vs the total number of non-hunters. You can do the math for yourself.
But when it comes time to vote, the non-hunter is twice as likely to vote as the hunter.
Crazy aint it?

Have to agree with you also , we need trophy hunters as well as those who could care less about the rack of a buck ,to each his own as long as it is legal !

Maybe thats why TWRA works so hard to cater to the majority of hunters in TN. Makes good business sense and keeps the hunting regulations "politically correct", JMO. Don't see a problem with it and TWRA does a great job.

Somebody tell me why?, trophy hunters take so much heat? What does it matter what you hunt? As long as you are enjoying it, what does it matter?

Maybe because its politically incorrect to discuss something so openly that the majority of the public (non-hunters) have a problem with. I know several people that don't have a problem with hunting unless you start talking about trophy hunting and how big the racks are. Its pretty much common sense...

gator-that is it in a nutshell. That is exactly what I was trying to say. But you see, to a non-hunter, the management of deer for antlers instead of meat, is repulsive if you are then going to kill them for the antlers.
