[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 334085, member: 3373"] Read some of the comments from the story. Some didn't think any trophy from managed property should be eligible for trophy status. Define managed property. I obviously don't know every landowner in this state but the ones I do know and are active deer hunters, their land is managed in some fashion. Some allow open hunting but may provide some habitat to attract deer. Some only allow limited hunting and encourage some deer to be allowed to gain some age. Some are very particular who hunts and prefer only certain animals to be taken. Is there a better chance of shooting a trophy deer on highly managed land. Sure there is, but mostly that's because some of those deer are allowed to live to an older age. What's best? Depends on the hunter. some are just trying to shoot a legal deer. Maybe don't have time to hunt every day of the 16 day season. Maybe don't want to travel a lot. My point is that not everyone has the same desire, time or resources to shoot big racked deer.
