I understand Dave. And I honestly have no problem with legal deer hunters, no matter their philosophy for doing so. I may not deer hunt, but I allow my neighbor to hunt on us every year. He was in to see me yesterday, to make sure it was still okay for him to do so this weekend. He wasn't real happy when I told him It was fine with me, but I planned to spend some time on the tractor and bush hog Saturday or Sunday, opening up the wooded trails. He's got a doe somewhere else, and he wants to kill a buck on me. That's fine, trophy or not.

As I've said, my reason for posting in this thread was simply one of curiosity. I've never been a trophy hunter, and fail to see the logic in removing the best genetics from anything. I simply wanted to hear what others had to say, and maybe provide some food for thought.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
