wow. no wait. WOW!!! LOTSA STUFF HERE. ar or no ar matters little to me. i am still going hunting and will harvest what ever i want that is legal. my concern is where is this going to stop? 3 points now,4 points couple years from now,then 5 on a side? will we tire of 6s and 8s and demand 10s and 12s. will we get so envolved in big antlers that we cant be bothered taking our children or grand-children out for fear they will spook that big buck away. if every one killed "wall hangers" all the time, i might grow so accustomed to the big ones that i wouldnt be excited about seeing your pics. i just dont want deer hunting turning into something it should not be. it should be fun, fullfilling, and rewarding for the whole family and for each one of us envolved. i want to share the results of my hunting with all without being put down because i killed a spike, nor do i need to be put on a pedistile for killing an older buck. i have hunted in 3 states, killed 100 deer and i have to say all have been trophies and all have been quality deer. i am proud of them all. i will tell the stories to all that care to listen, as i also listen (read) with excitement your hunting stories. good luck and happing hunting.
thanks
