RE: Indiana
As an Illinois native who still owns land and hunts there, i can tell you that we shouldn't be the model for other states to follow. Deer management (farming?) is a relative term and lot's of folks were much happier before it turned into big business where not bagging a trophy buck means that one apparently doesn't have any goals in life or they are wasting their tag. Some of the easiest kills i have ever seen where pretty big, pretty old bucks. Hell, the biggest buck killed in my immediate area was taken by a guy standing out in the middle of a cut cornfield. The goal should be to enjoy hunting first and secondarily to put meat in the freezer or a rack on the wall. As long as the first goal is being achieved I don't care if my land is infested with mega-bucks or only has a few spikes and does.
