[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 3295362, member: 4319"] I'm not a "trophy hunter". I just like more bucks to make it through their first year. I have been hunting the same property 20 years and a basket 8 2.5 year old used to be the talk of the lease. Some years none of us would even see a racked buck hunting all 3 seasons. Now we pass 2.5s all the time and 3.5s and older are becoming more common. If they get past 1.5 that's the key. I think "hunters in the know" helped with that a bit at least. We still had designated doe days when I started hunting. Almost everyone shot the first buck they saw. Big changes in the last 2 decades. It's just better seeing more than forkys. It's a better herd and a better hunting experience. "F U trophy hunters" is a bad argument. You're not a trophy hunter because you like a few racked bucks to...exist. [/QUOTE]
