We have built a generation(or two) of deer hunters that are trained in quantity over quality.

I think "man points"(or ball size) are given to those who kill the most deer.

I agree, those who truely manage deer on the properties they hunt will continue to have good seasons in the near future. Others will complain as they continue to kill the "golden goose".
Your completely wrong about "man points" given for the most killed. Fifty years ago maybe. In this day and age it's all about antlers. I have never seen any books or records being kept for the most deer killed by a hunter , but many for deer with the most bone sprouting out of their heads [/b]
Blackoak.....I have seen first hand up here and in other areas of this state where # of deer shot trumps the size of rack on the head. We have large groups of Families and large groups of Friends in our area that have annual contests on who can kill the most deer. There is even a group out of Mentone Indiana in Kosciusko County that calls themselves "Whitetail Destruction" and has a website named as such you can view. A few years back they had a banquet for this group and hundreds attended. Just Google up "whitetail destruction Mentone Indiana" and take a look for yourself.

Instead of saying Joe isn't right about what he typed....maybe you should call the "Whitetail Destruction" guys and give them a piece of you mind. There are contact phone # 's listed on that website.

Man cards and Man points are worn proud by many for the number of deer they shoot. Joe is correct on his assessment.
