I don't raise deer but I do watch them grow up. A lot of the ones I watch, fed here from nipple to death and get shot on the public ground next door. I am the neighbor you want to hunt next door t, count on it.

We ate 10 deer since last season, buck and doe

How many years it take? Been over 20 here since the nonsense started and the biggest difference I see is hardly anyone shoots one now,



Not true at all.

I'd suggest you not say that part out loud. Someone might take that as gospel.

Once again.

lol.


Could give a PA “hunter” $100 and they would complain that they have to get out their wallet to put it away. Just can’t make them happy and they wouldn’t be happy if you gave them whatever nonsense they wanted.

We used to use the kids during youth season to cull bucks but they quickly learned to be more patient and wait for the better bucks.



Then you had no worries. Can’t remove “bad” genetics in a wild herd and culling has almost zero effect. Remember half the dna comes from the doe also. So she could be passing on those traits also. You would need a captive herd and monitor each doe’s offspring. Lots of work.


Rob, I agree you can never completely control a wild herd, but it can be influenced over time. It takes a large enough acreage and discipline. This has been our experience, your results may vary.

We were killing almost all 1.5 yr old deer. Our 3 pt reg started around 1995. It took about 5 years to start seeing a difference.

This picture was taken last saturday night, when my son and his family came to hunt straight wall cart season. Three grand daughters from age 7 to 15, a boyfriend, my son, his wife, and me. The smallest cut off rack was a first deer for a seven yr old. The small rack next to the doe was a buck with injured nuts - but still a nine pt. I am the only one who didnt shoot but passed an 8 pt. Incidentally, we killed one of our six bigger target bucks - the one on the far right. APR’s have made a colossal difference here.

I was just saying the points were hard to count now that we have a few on camera that might speed up the identification process. LOL


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
