Why does someone who is serious about deer and deer hunting always get called a 'Trophy Hunter' in a derogatory manner?
It irks me to no end to see grown men, seasoned hunters no-less, with a shed full of spikes and other small yearling bucks antlers. It HAS slowed down with the 3 buck limit. But, mostly just by the law-abiding hunters.
A 'real' tag would go even farther and be much more enforcable! Think about it.....you could not let anybody see a set of antlers that did not have a tag attached, much less take him to a processor or taxidermist.
I also agree with Outback that MANY hunters don't even buy a hunting license!!!!!
The lack of tags, and the repurcussions of having an 'untagged' buck might would help to encourage more to buy licenses.
