Think about this, when a guy spends around $6500us to come up here hunting he is after a trophy. He's not going to purposely shoot next years up and comer, he's after mac daddy. Educated guides will give them a guideline as to what they're looking for in regards to what constitutes a trophy. Trophy animals are smart and not readily available, not something you find behind every tree!
How many of you guys have killed a 160" whitetail? When guys come up hunting whitetail that's the caliber of deer they're for. A good guide will help them in judging what a 160" whitetail looks like and help them pass on the little guys. In all honesty most guys (not all) that kill big deer do it by luck, and with non resident hunters the luck factor is much lower because they only have 5-10 days to make it happen. There is way more fear about what non residents kill than what they actually kill, and in all honesty, most of the animals they kill would have died a natural death anyway.

I beg to differ on one point, a guy who pays good money for a moose hunt is going home with a moose if he can....up and comer or not he is filling a freezer if possible, and I don't blame him for that one bit.
