That’s kinda what let the air out of my sails with the big club. Not the baiting issue since it was still illegal at that time. Just using your point as a reference

We had 5000 acres and still couldn’t get guys over the mindset that I paid 1200 and should be allowed to kill a buck. They call it the up-oh buck. Then those are the exact same ones complaining not seeing any mature bucks. You’d think at some point they realize what’s happening. 😂

I know all things are not the same. At the farm for every doe killed 2-4 will fill the void. Been that way for years. Farmer neighbor says he’s done shooting them and increasing the population. He’s been stealing them from the lease up in the hills where timber harvest have kept perfect habitat for growing a deer herd exist. They’re the incubator so to speak. Those cutovers are growing up and losing their browse so hopefully in a few years the beans won’t be targeted like the past few years. Then again how far will momma does travel?
