Also when I bought my farm 4 years ago I made it a priority to meet my surrounding landowners since our part of the world is smaller tracts and deer travel across several fences each day. At first neighbors were killing a lot of 2.5 yr olds all thinking if I don't he will over there. We now all share cam pics and all agree on which buck is a go no go. I like many used to get all worked up over gun shots I heard but these are free range animals. I've had my chances at some huge deer but the shot just wasn't there and neighbors killed them. I'm never going to tell someone what they can or can't do on their own place but I showed my neighbors by example what can be accomplished by using the right mentality.


Conversations with neighbors go a long way. thumbup
