BC...VA..I'm beginning to see that I don't have control over NEARLY enough land to make a HUGE difference. But.....I think killing does is something I can do to "help". I see what you guys are saying. I will probably get more and more lax the more I hunt about the "mgmt" aspect. If I were managing 50 sq miles......it would be different.
Anybody I invite into my woods is welcome to shoot anything they want. I'll take their photo....help them drag it out.....help butcher it and give 'em a high five.
I didn't used to feel that way.

I also don't invite just anyone in to hunt.
