BSK used to be a big proponent o fmanaging buck age structure using “total buck harvest” …..He talked about some land in TN where I believe he was hunting with family……Said they didn’t have any rules on which buck you could shoot….. they simply limited the total number allowed to be killed……I think it might have been something like 20% or 30% of whatever he determined the buck population to be through camera surveys…..So for every 10 bucks they killed 2 leaving the other 8 to move into the next age class…..That’s the general concept anyway……

I bring that up because that’s essentially the same idea with tags and bag limits……They manage age structure through limiting total buck harvest…..


Folks that know don't shoot old does........ wink
