[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4228833, member: 10373"] Since every hunter wants to kill a large or older buck "whether they will admit it or not" we are all trophy hunters to some degree. I don't know any hunter who will pass up a large buck to shoot a young deer if given an equal chance. The difference really is whether a hunter will exclusively prefer a trophy buck over any other deer. Even in so called trophy states you have all kinds of hunters pursuing a variety of legal deer to kill. Almost every state has some restrictions on young bucks either through a limited buck kill or antler restrictions. It was just a matter of time before the state got on board with the rest of the country but they can certainly go too far. IMO it's just about right but any further restrictions on seasons or reductions in buck limits could change the whole equation. I would like to see some restrictions on yearling bucks. I realize there will be those who will criticize this saying they should be able to kill whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt the deer herd, but I believe more restrictive rules CAN and should protect certain age class deer.
