Until there are too many bucks running around...I' ll keep passing them up!

Also, a couple rules of harvest.
*don' t shoot a lone " doe"
*wait for 3 or more and shoot the largest

Our neighbors in the thumb area were Menonites. We had unlimited doe tags in the area, and a ton of deer. They shot nine deer for the season in 1997-7 BB' s, and 2 does. We shot the same number, but 8 mature does, and 1-2.5 year old buck. Were we lucky, or the only ones that cared?

With all the deer available, to me, there was no excuse for what they did. Mistakes deffinently happen, but if you make it a priority to not let it happen, the odds are pretty good it won' t.
