Wouldn't deer be like other mammals, more tasty when young? If so, the trophy deer ought to be safe once they make it that far. They've earned it, IMHO.

Spent the weekend in Durham, North Carolina, with my dad. His third wife is being treated for brain cancer at Duke. I drove him and his kid and my kids to the zoo, and he drank Heinekins (sp?) and bitched about not being able to go hunting since his wife got sick. He said he did go once when my brother (the one with the same mother as me) was there over Christmas, but it wasn't any good because my brother didn't want to shoot anything. He just wanted to hang out with my dad in the blinds, and do everything else with him, but he didn't want to kill anything, and my dad was offended and hurt. People who won't shoot anything are no better than vegetarians in his book, and he doesn't think much of vegetarians. He wanted my sister to raise his son by his new wife, if anything happened to him, but decided against it because she and her husband are vegetarians.

Anyway, my sister (the vegetarian) let it be known that my father had actually got a lot of hunting and fishing in this fall and winter, even after his wife got sick. I suspect it's relative, in more ways than one.
