[ol][*]Forget about Antler restrictions and mandatory QDM. Make rules up for your own property and don't worry about how the other guy hunts. He wants to drop button bucks or 1.5 yr old deer. Don't worry about it.[*]Baiting where it is legal keep it that way. If it effects your land because your neighbor does it. Don't worry about just bait to.[*]Somebody wants to fence in 5 acres jam it to over flowing with trophy bucks and charge people to shoot them,don't worry about it.[*]If the state sets increasing large number of doe permits and your neighbor decides he wants to shoot ever deer that he can legally shoot and then allows every Tom, Dick and Harry to come and put drives on from sun up to sun down. Don't worry about it.[*]When your sitting in your tree stand and the neighbors kid decide to take the four wheeler to their stand at prime time don't worry about it.[*]When a buck walks by with an arrow sticking out of it's neck because the guy on the next lease believes that shot is lethal don't worry about it.[/ol]
Any other things we shouldn't worry about what the other guy is doing?
Well..... yeah........ guess you've got it...... if its legal... well, then it's legal. Don't like it? Write your congressman. And your state biologists. And you department of wildlife. If it truly is something that needs to be changed then enough people will agree with you and it will get changed. If enough people don't agree with you then it might be more just your opinion. Funny how you take 6 items that YOU don't like and post them as though they are the scourge of our sport. And grouping/comparing QDM and baiting with fencing in 5 acres and charging for hunts or a deer with an arrow through its neck is almost humerous. But hey, to each his own.
