It sounds to me most everyone agrees most everyone will shoot a nice 2 or 3 year old buck, so why not increase the buck limit and lower the doe limit? The whole has to have 4 points on one side doesn't help either. I have mature 6 points that need to go. I have one buck that's well over 4 years old that has a spike on one side and a split spike at the pedicile at the other.

Especially if what CNC is saying is true. The old deer I mentioned above I had pics of in 2019, and haven't gotten one until a couple weeks ago. Where has he been? I bet he is at least 6 or 7 years old.

Isn't there a better way to judge your herd? Like weighing the deer you kill and aging them? Seems like if you have 110 to 120 pound doe's you don't have a whole bunch, but if all of them are 90 pounds, maybe thinning them out would be good.

I'm not going to think I have to many deer until my fields stay mowed.
