[QUOTE="toddc, post: 727948, member: 4566"] Kinda weird but we had some severe population problems which resulted in 50+ tags apiece for a few years. 100 deer is a bunch!!! + regular tags. Whiteys were basically varmints in that situation. Now if I hunted out of state during that time they were back to game animals. Fast forward to now and the population crashed and they are back to game animals for me. But during our population control phase if I could see them I would shoot them. All comes down to moral issues to me. If you can hit a small whitey under 200lbs with a 338 300 its gonna die pretty quick even with a back of diaphragm hit even at 1 mile. As long as you can find a blood trail and have a spotter its a doable deal. The situation I WAS in made it acceptable to take a 1 mile shot. Now that I'm in kansas with bigger trophy deer and different cover not so much. [/QUOTE]
