[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5048397, member: 1409"] Until fairly recently, [I][U]QUALITY WHITETAILS[/U][/I] was the one magazine where the focus was [I]NOT[/I] on crap that didn't matter, but rather on the real issues that do. Over the past few years, they also greatly succumbed to most the above, negating what had been their great messaging. I agree. I described all deer, first & foremost, by sex, then estimated age. There's nothing wrong with additional description, but it has been exploited. You'll have to pull it out of me, regarding how many "points" a buck has, and I care little about "score", almost annually passing up higher "scoring" bucks than the older [U]deer[/U] (often female ones) "chosen" for the wall & the freezer. Choosing what is killed by sex & age is the biggest part of my personal herd management plan, and, what satisfies me most regarding "which" deer I put in the freezer (and on the wall). It's a biologically sound strategy, and least effected by all the marketing gimmicks. [/QUOTE]
