Many many years ago we shot most any good 6 or better. My grandpa was a hunter that did not discriminate much. After the grandkids started laying everything down he imposed a 3 on one side rule. I’d have to say that over all I think it helped. Now back then we used to see 40+ deer in a one acre plot on many evenings. These days we see 2-10 maybe. I’m sure that is caused by many other factors surrounding us but I’d say land size, neighbors, and genetics play a part In your management program.
