+1 I highly disapprove of the AR. What ever happened to the good old days of hunting. I pay to hunt and hopefully harvest big antlered deer but I know of so many other less fortunate hunters (they can not afford leases) that go to field (I let them hunt my small ranches)to harvest a deer of any size or sex. They are the ones that are hurt by this legislation. I personally get a bigger thrill when I hear from a friend who has just succesfully harvested a deer on my place no matter what the size. You cant put a price tag on it. I believe hunting is hunting and the goverment should not tell anyone what size you must shoot. I do not have any problems with them setting bag limits, set them and let the hunter make his choice on what he harvest (trophys are in the eye of the beholder)+ (they are paying for thier License to hunt). I see this state so consumed with making it a super throphy state that they fail to see the roots of hunting anymore. I remember when I first started hunting thier were no feeders (we might buy a bag at the first of the season and just sprinkle a handful out everytime you went out), game cameras, protien, 4wheelers etc... We camped in tents or the back of the truck. We payed a $100.00 for the whole family to hunt. The hunting party always welcomed the harvest, nobody needed permission to shoot. Things to me were a lot funner back then JMO.

Man we need to go have a drink 10pointers! I agree with every word you typed and this subject has been talked about over and over. I'll never change my mind that in the long run it's about Texas being a high dollar, trophy only state. Big bucks = big bucks ($). I don't get tired of b*tching about it either. It's my right and for those that like ARs, it's probably because they are trophy hunters, so it doesn't bother them. It's their right to like them. I remember those good old days too. I remember if we did have feeders, they were nothing but corn filled 5 gallon buckets with holes drilled in the bottom. Trail cams were unheard of and if you had a Honda Big Red 3-wheeler, you were the luckiest hunter out there. Waking up in a camper in the back of my pick-up truck and being able to scrape frost off of the walls of the inside of it. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with technology especially the older I get but I do think we are being forced to all be trophy hunters now. Our camp still gets excited when someone harvests any deer but now a days, the buck's gotta damn near be a trophy because the state says so. Oh wait, we can still kill spikes.....so no biggie I reckon. They're good eating!!! Antler restrictions keep us from shooting immature bucks, yet along with those antler restrictions, we could legally kill a yearling spike if we so choose because the state says we can.
