What people don't get or want to get is hunting is hunting bow, crossbow, rifle, shotgun, whichever a dead deer is a dead deer, pressure is pressure! Shoot whatever you want. Use to a bow would really be only accurate past 30 yards, now shots are easy to 60 plus yards. Making the standard so strict for everyone is not going to solve the problem. If you choose big deer choose big deer. Some people could care less about antlers and should be able to dictate their choice on their own land, period! Even in trophy clubs people kill more than they should. It is just hard to control, unless you have large tracts of connecting land, accept it! In some cases hunting has already got too controlled. Why should anybody have to pay $200 to come here or go to another state to shoot one deer? One deer! Not only has prices gone crazy here look at Florida. If had my own land to hunt in Florida or on a WMA and it took 3 visits spread out over the season to shoot one deer and one turkey, different weapons each hunt, it would cost me over $325 just for permits and licenses. Wow! Permits for this permits for that. It has gone crazy to the point of no return! If I had my own land the state would not come and feed the deer. I have friend there that pays over $600 just on property taxes in Florida , but can't hunt without buying a license. To legally try to shoot one deer and one turkey a year he would have to pay $925+ in one year. The state don't pay that why should we? They don't feed his deer or turkey, but only tell him what he can do and when. Government over reach is out of control and we have allowed this! Why?
