WMA's are public land. If a person is happy shooting a spike, then they should shoot it. Some people only get a weekend or two to hunt. They don't have time to "Trophy Hunt". Not everyone cares for trophy hunting. Some want to shoot what they see. There are still big bucks out there. If you want to shoot larger deer quit being lazy and hunt harder. Dont blame your lack of success on the man that shot a spike. Public land is hunted very hard but the people that put in their time kill big deer.
I reread my post and I didn't see anything in it about me blaming my lack of success on anything. I killed 2 very nice 8 points this year both were on public land. One came from here and one from mo.
I don't know one person that would shoot a 4 pointer over an 8 pointer, and if they say they would there lying. All I am saying is its only common sense that if u let the small ones walk there gonna get bigger.
I know u can't talk sense into some folks especially the ones with the brown its down mentality but when that generation dies off we should be able to have what other states have.
