Because, then you have to answer a thousand questions about where you killed it. Pretty soon you’ll sound like Saban in a press conference.
And the answer is in the woods, black out the persons face. They can’t kill a dead deer You can't kill a dead deer , however , when the word gets out, hunters want to hunt that area. Kinda like closing the barn door after the horse is out, err dead in this case.

This whole thread comes down to location, location, location. Fellers who live in areas where 150's get killed regularly know they are somewhat common. Those who live where they are super rare think they are like unicorns.
Now to the thread title , there can be much more to what defines a trophy than a tape measure.

I know of one that green scored over 173 this fall in south Bama. I didn't know there were deer that big in south Bama That deer was a giant, and he was going to skull mount it. He also killed it on the 40 acres the camp sits on where nobody else wants to hunt. A 173-inch buck skull mount would be very cool.

Kinda like closing the barn door after the horse is out, err dead in this case. I understand totally, like said before I just like seeing pictures. Wish we had access to property with those giants but I’ve always been proud of the ones I’ve shot and none of them would of ever hit 150” no matter how older they got. It takes a special place and great genetics!! Now someone please show us some pictures

My wife, grandson , and I have all killed bucks over 150. Wife first buck scored 151. Grandson killed a 162" eight point couple years ago, and a 127" eight point last year. If I ever need a blood transfusion You can be expecting a call

I understand not showing pics of giant bucks. Heck I’ve 2nd guesses showing pics at all anymore but it’s still just fun to me and if somebody wants to be a prick that’s on them 👍🏻 I also haven’t killed a 150 either so I’m sure the bigger the deer the worse the jealousy.
Leased land: folks with deep pockets find out where you’re hunting and take it from you.
Private land: poachers
Public land: folks find out what you drive and start hunting all over you
Club: same thing as private and leased land

Location? You gotta grow them. Sanctuary them. Not shoot them when they are 2,3,4 and sometimes 5. Then you will have big mature deer. Fact is most aren’t that patient. It’s all about age structure. It’s not hard. You wanna kill a deer shoot a doe. Let the buck grow.

At best 125ish a year killed. It may seem low to you Black belt guys/ West Alabama and maybe Jackson county folks. But, for the rest of the state, it just don't happen. Too many trigger happy hunters. Even letting them grow, the genetics to get to 150 and get killed by a legal means, just don't happen. In this part of the state, We don't just don't have the Ag, or the hunter discipline to support it. Not only that, here in Etowah county, be we just don't have large tracts of huntable land. And, we have high hunter numbers. I'm still thinking 125 is within 20% of the actual number. I'm taking about true 150" deer killed legally every year..
