So I have a question for both sides of the argument.
If you had 10,000 acres of contiguous property for a private stalk hunting club, what would be your deer harvest rules?
If I was the president of such club my rule would be 4.5 years old or older no matter the score. If it was in a prime area of the state known for producing better quality deer I would consider 5 years old being the guideline. The big key to making such a property be successful is having like minded members who are all on the same page with this goal. That goes for trigger restraint and the work that goes into managing said property.
This ^^^^ I'm taking it a step farther, we'd bow hunt, gun hunt first week then shut the place down, NO HUNTING at all till rut. If you wanted to run cameras you better put them up by December 1st and they better have big cards and hot batteries, because you won't be stinking the place up checking them every few days. Then we drag out the full grown uns!
