I think poaching and big antlers really having nothing to do with each other. More does are poached every year than antlered deer. Poaching is poaching. If you are a "if its brown its down" guy thats ok but why would you want to dictate how others hunt? If I get what you are say right, your saying that Trophy hunting leads to poaching? Question, If there was a basket 6 standing there and a 180" which one would you shoot? If the weights were about the same. So what if some hunters take it one step farther and only shoot book deer. I'm not getting bent out of shape or anything, I just putting it out there to think about. Legal and ethical is legal and ethical, illegal and unethical is illegal and unethical. and thats my 2 cents |
