I've been thinking about this a little bit and I'm only using jeff as an example since everyone knows his situation.

When does the pressure for proper herd management cross the line and take away from the enjoyment of the hunting experience?

While as hunters we are regarded as stewards of the land, when does that situation go out the window? Can a guy just go out and hunt, shoot a few deer and call it a season, and not feel guilty that he didn't do everything in his power to fix the herd?

Now I'm not going to the other extreme of the fellow who hunts an area loaded with does and a few bucks. Then goes and shoots 1st young buck past, and would never EVER consider taking a doe. To him there can't be enough.

I'm just talking about the guy who knows he's got lots of deer but jsut goes out shoots 1-2 does and tries for a decent buck and calls it a season. Is he beinga poor steward? Or is he just a guy happy to be hunting?
