RE: Drawing the Line III
Ahhhhhhyou forgot to mentionenough land to be able topractice these methods ... what if you have permission to only hunt 1 to 200 acres ...and 50% of that is pasture ..then what?

I guess when it comes to this I would still practice QDM and hope for the best. If a young buck comes by I'd let him walk. Chances are that a neighbor will shoot him but the young buck will make the neighbor happier than it will me.
Several times I have let 2 1/2 year old bucks go and shot them the next year. What a difference a year can make on a bucks developement. Sometimes(a lot) when I let bucks walk, I never see them again. Thats the way it goes. I don't shoot deer because if I don't someone else will. I shoot deer that make me happy. If I go a year without, oh well.
