[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5383594, member: 1409"] Very correct. And, the overall herd health will be greatly reduced for a variety of reasons, the least of which may be CWD. Despite the frequent claims many deer hunters make to the contrary, [I]MOST[/I] deer hunters are in fact "horn" hunters. This is in the context that when a doe is standing beside a "nice" antlered buck, which of those two deer will [I]MOST [/I]deer hunters normally choose to shoot? Just saying, the pursuit of antlers is one of the factors for which most deer hunting takes place. Take away that factor, the desire for deer hunting is reduced. For thousands of years, hunters have been fascinated by antlers, and it must be something in our DNA. Most of us also consume the meat from the animals we kill, and being a "horn hunter" is nothing for which to be ashamed. I consider myself more a "hunter-manager" conservationist who enjoys hunting and dining on the wild game I hunt. I also keep the antlers from the bucks I also enjoy eating and the sharing of that venison with family & friends. [/QUOTE]
