I'm on board for a sub forum of Deer Management ideas. This thread shows the need for a different type of discussion.
Same here. We just do the best we can but definetly keep if fun for all.We did the same thing for years...with no real positive results. We shot the nice 2 year old 8's because they met the club criteria.....but we didnt really know what we were doing
Those rules are set so there is a "concrete" rule. Something we can put our eyes on and confirm. We should really be managing by age only (not antlers). The problem....the vast majority of us cant age a deer on the hoof when he his following a doe thru a food plot 10 minutes before shooting light ends. At least I cant.
I love these management threads and I apologize if any of my comments helped with the derailment
