Most state like MI, NY, PA, NC and most southern states don't know what thier Top end potential is for whitetail bucks. Mainly because they kill them all, there deer are over populated and not getting proper nutrition either.
You kill me, sometimes. What's the first thing we need to do as a country.....to help with immigration? STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO THIS COUNTRY.
What's the first thing you want to focus on when you have a population problem? KILL FREAKIN DEER!
Iowa has GREAT I mean GREAT doe management. If NC followed Iowa's plan you would not be over run with deer

You would have had to follow it since the 70's. States with smaller deer have more to do with deer mangement than location IMO.
OK....so tell all the good ol boys in NC that they can't rifle hunt until after the rut. Reduce the number of bucks they can take. But remember....as you're doing this.....your border's still WIDE OPEN! (you're still INCREASING your population)
NC would have more top end NC bucks if manage properly.
And all women would be thin if supermodels if they ordered trimspa. Nice pipedream.
I look at 120'' buck from NC no different than a 160'' buck from Iowa
I look at 130'' buck form NY no differnet than a 160'' buck from Iowa
I've never thought of it that way.....but it makes sense.
The Hunter is the same class to me, they put the Top End bucks down in there location.
Your problem Jeff isyou don't know what that is, but if you keep up what you are doing, you will
We'll see. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
