They actually have shot deer I let go that were 120 inch 3yr old bucks and would have been awesome looking with another year or two so it’s not just the 10-20 acre person is my point but it’s a situation no law will ever change in these parts of the country. In the south if u don’t have a fence then don’t get disappointed when Joe blow shoots ur deer or several cause it’s gonna happen and ain’t nothing u can do or say.

Regardless of acreage size, you’d be a great neighbor to co-op with, share pics, etc. There are others that exploit that situation to an extreme degree because of what I feel is poorly structured season and bag limits.

I agree but there are more like my situation as far as acreage that just will not let them grow and I’ve seen it first hand letting them go to only get shot. When they send me a picture all I can do is say I could’ve shot it 100 times but didn’t. Sometimes I ask myself why I do it knowing what’s gonna happen. All I can hope for is someones prioritys change and some bucks may defy the odds and prove me wrong eventually. They shot 2 this year that u just ask why cause they were below average and would make good seed. As it stands around here right now there’s only a couple spikes to breed but maybe they got some bread before they got shot.
