Let them get to be more than 2.5 years old without dying of lead poisoning because "my neighbor would shoot them" or "I don't care about horns" or "You cain't tell me how to hunt!" or ... well, because maybe just allowing young animals to get some age on them wouldn't hurt anything now and then?



You missed one important word there, Clem!

consistently


You are really spot-on about people needing trigger restraint!
And, the improved age will definitely add inches!
Heck, the improved age structure will help the genetics and make hunting better, as well.

But, the current timber practices and greatly reduced agricultural areas just do not provide the adequate nutrition for this.

We are NOT in the agricultural mid-west!
