[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5506887, member: 20583"] And that's on intensely managed property. Imagine what it's like for the vast majority of hunters who either hunt local public, a club, or some private ground that belongs to family or is leased. The majority of the hunting population never get a chance to shoot a 120" buck. When they do, they don't care that it's only a dumb 2yr old. They saw a big rack and it's a trophy, quite possibly a once in a lifetime trophy. My dad is one of those hunters. He's mid 70's and has never killed a buck much over 100". He's hunted the same property his entire life, same property my brother & I have hunted our entire lives. In the past 20yrs between my brother & me there have been probably 2 dozen bucks that busted P&Y taken off that property, with the majority being 140+. The difference is standards and objectives. Us boys hunt racks. Dad hunts meat. He gets excited about taking a 100" 8pt. I'm not going to be the killjoy who tells him not to. [/QUOTE]
