I killed a 2 year old the other day. 257, not everyone owns countless acres of prime farmland where they can consistently see 20 deer in a sit. Some of us hunt places that we could be kicked off of tomorrow and feel pretty good if we even see a deer when we go. We have to take what is given. I’d gladly kill a 3 year old 8 point tomorrow and it would be the biggest buck I’ve killed in 2 years. Just be thankful for what you have and don’t worry about what everyone else does. Matt hunts a small property. He doesn’t have countless acres

This is why we starting building our sanctuaries so our neighbors wouldn’t kill our young bucks. It’s what started the sanctuary so we could keep maintain grow and when the time is right take the mature buck. It’s all about building the sanctuary and they will come and stay. Learning how to inner act with it it another story. But you must build it until the regs change. We just know what works for us. And it’s working

I don't shoot one unless it gets my heart pumping. It may be a 2 yr old 8, a 4 pt or a 5 yr old 12 pt. If I want to shoot it I will. This man gets it. It’s all personal preference
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Build sanctuaries build deer. Just give Them what rhey need and let them grow now that hard. It seems they want to grow so let them grow. They are trying to grow. Let them grow and you will know. Our chineese investor won’t let us show our ip yet but we have somewhere things right now that’s growing six points bucks first year or they die now only

I have no desire to shoot 3 YO, 95" 8 points. I haven't shot a buck in Alabama in 4 years and I can't understand hunters who never grow out of the 'brown is down' attitude. Or the 'if I don't shoot it the neighbors will' BS excuse when dragging a 2 YO 8 point into camp.
I grew up hunting in a club in Marengo county which had 40 members on 2900 acres. If it didn't have spots (although I saw a couple shot where the spots were still slightly visible) it got blasted. This was the 80's and had a 2 week doe season so some of these guys bought bigger scopes so they could see if the antlers had broken the hairline and shoot him. My third year, I shot what was considered a trophy on the club - a 130 lb, 85" 8 point. Yep, it was a big deal whenever an 8 point was hung up in the skinning shed, and he was a monster to this guy when I was 15. I wouldn't give a thought to shooting that deer today.

We hunt because we enjoy it. We don't shoot the hell outa the deer on our place but if we see a buck we like we shoot it. For some of the guys that hunt with us, that 100" 8pt may be the biggest buck they have ever killed and to them it's the trophy of a lifetime. To me that's what it's all about. I have no problem waiting for a mature deer but I'm not going to ask someone who has never killed a nice buck to not shoot it and wait for an older deer. There's enough stress with my 2 jobs, I try to keep stress out of my deer hunting. We keep it fun but that's just us.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

The state needs to put a regulation that you can’t kill a buck unless it’s five years or older. Ridiculous! How ya gonna police it? Bucks don't tote a birth certificate.

See that's the mindset I was talking about. Always worried about the neighbors gunshot Matt there is one thing I can guarantee folks with this mindset, he's definitely dead when they pull the trigger. What a lot of folks fail to realize is a lot of these bucks would make it to see another year. I'm guilty of falling for this trap myself in my younger years. I have since learned if I do my part he just might live to see 4 or some cases I've passed 4 year old's that have seen 5+. This is not a dig at you guy's that like to kill deer! Shoot what makes you happy, but if you truly would like to see older age class deer y'all got to quit worrying about what the neighbors do. I recently started hunting some very small properties that are susceptible to what the neighbors kill, however I have killed one really good deer for the area and might know where a few more are hanging out. My plan of managing pressure and providing the best food in the area goes a long way in saving some of these younger deer I would like to see live longer.

Right on Squeak, worrying about the neighbors will make ya crazy . Provide food, water ,cover and trigger restraint and don't get hung up on what the other fellers do.

What I don’t understand is why anybody would worry about what their neighbor is killing or what Aldeer hunters think. The deer belongs to all of us to hunt and kill. And as long as we all hunt the deer in accordance to the regulations set by the DCNR no one should worry what the mindset of what other hunters are. The harvest record clearly states what bucks can be taken and in what order. My problem is with those that don’t give a damn about being in compliance with the regulations. Buy a damn hunting license and report your kills!

Why even worry about what you can't control? Worry about what you can control. And that goes for life in general as well.
