[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 1676443, member: 12099"] Fushfurlife.... I dont think it's a loss of focus on hunting, I think it's more of having a goal set and challenging yourself. What's the challenge in shooting a 1.5-2.5 y/o buck? You made another interesting statement which is kind of true. Yes "meat hunters" out number the "trophy hunters" in the surveys. But it's typically by a very slim margin every year, usually close enough you might as well just call it 50/50. Then you say that most hunters just want to shoot "a" buck and dont care about the size. Why is that? It's not for meat, otherwise they would be fine with a doe. It's cause they think it's a "trophy"... So in other words, your meat hunters who just want to shoot any buck are infact just trophy hunters with lower goals or standards. Which is OK, especially with our current deer herd. But if our herd becomes better, and we start seeing larger more mature bucks on a regular basis, do you think those guys would raise their standards and pass a few young bucks just to see what might be next? As far as Texas, you can't compare us to them. Our hunting life style is nothing like theirs nor is our state really capible of being like them. To them, high fence is just how it is and it's the norm. Most Okies are against it plus the majority of our state us broken up into mile sections. It's kind of hard to fence in 20k acres when you have county roads running through it. [/QUOTE]
