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.




Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

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

…. Here’s my boy with an illegal buck he shot …. Wasn’t wide enough

… but I sure didn’t tell him that …. All these antler worshippers trying to steal the joy out of it

…. Luckily he got it behind the house and no game wardens around to give him a ticket and confiscate the animal

I thought you were slightly better than that.

We have the same 15” rule for DE and a 3 point rule in MD.

Seen plenty of great deer that wouldn’t meet the requirements.

We also have a tag for those deer, so would be good using that tag.

Still gotta follow the law.

You and I are different though. I would lose my job and be in the newspaper for doing that.

Wife mooching is a hard life.


You should apply to be a green jeans, you could teach them a thing or two. If you’re willing to take the pay cut.
