Default RE: Problem Hunter in Quality Deer Managment

I'm lost here. Wouldn't real quality management involve leaving the really big healthy bucks with big racks alone so that they could continue to contribute to a good gene pool for a long time? Then when they outlive their breeding usefulness the coyotes can have them. Furthermore, i would think that past problems with deer populations were due to unrestricted overhunting, not the fact that some people choose to shoot a 4 pointer while others shoot a big buck, while others shoot a doe.

I don't really care if folks want to practice it or not, but when you get too preachy about it and/or try to do it with land that don't have your name on the deed you will likely get the same responses as you get on this thread.
