[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4380564, member: 69"] Pertaining to Ames, I'll divide hunters into 2 catagories; new members and veteran members. I think many of the new guys aren't accustomed to seeing many decent racks on bucks where they've previously hunted and when a 2.5 or 3.5 year old buck comes by them carrying a 120"-125" rack they immediately shoot, age be damned. Regretfully, there are some veteran members that do the same, especially after going most of the season without making a kill. Many of these bucks are killed without being judged for age. If the truth be known, many are probably killed in the hopes that they will score once the hunter walks up on his downed deer rather than knowing he will prior to shooting regardless of age. Why someone would join into a program designed to enhance the buck population and then disregard the principles of doing so is beyond me. Some don't think beyond that they have to make a kill and that what they're doing jeopardizes how effective the program may or may not be in the coming seasons. That is the PRIME reason that there are so few pics of 140" and 150" deer on the Ames website. [/QUOTE]
