RE: Keeping Landowners happy
The majority of landowners around here don't hunt, and they don't care whether or not you're killing big deer, they want you to kill 'em all. I've heard it alot, "you see it, you kill it".I sure dont shoot everything I see, but I'm not generaly very selective. They go bananas over deer steaks, so I give them some steaks and loins all throughout the season, so they see that I'm giving a season long effort. Between the 3 guys that hunt it, we'll end up with 6-10 deer a year, so nobody's going hungry.
..and the fact that it's my brother-in-laws family helps too.
