I do see hunting heading in that direction. Many landowners that used to allow people to hunt their land now only allow access for a high fee. I would like to see B&C and P&Y do away with the hunters name and just recognize a magnificent animal. Too many people get wrapped up in getting a trophy rather than enjoying the experience and remembering why they began hunting to begin with. I am not against trophy hunting or holding out for a bigger animal, but nothing ticks me off more than seeing a guy shoot an animal on a hunting show and then say they are disappointed with it. I have shot does on some of my most memoriable hunts and wouldn't have it any other way.
