Hear entirely too much "should have left it grow".
BS spoken by trophy hunters. (Or wannabe)
Too darn much TV. Every deer video is on some private pay to hunt farm. Some, are pen raised, many are "free range" but still "managed".
Guys think real life is like that.
So they shït on another guys trophy. Pretty sure they have bad feeling toward "meat hunters”.
There are plenty of middle aged and older fellows out west at least that aren’t the hunting show watching type that still think that way.
Something about mule deer really drives this mentality.
Then there are those who get pissy if you see a buck, regardless of age or size that needs culled and you don’t do it. 3x4s and such. One guy in Montana was gut shooting any forked horn mule deer or small 3x3, 3x4, etc. he saw because he didn’t want those deer in the gene pool. He thought that any deer should be a 4x4 by 2-3 years of age and were genetically inferior if they weren’t. This was all on public. He was caught 10-12 years ago, thankfully. I remember reading about it somewhere.
