We own our own land and farm...I have seen as many as 50 deer in one field eating our soybeans and peanuts during the summer months...Deer can eat about 12 pounds of soybeans a night...So they are taking money out of my pocket...We kill 40-50 deer each year and have done so for 20 plus years...We give the young bucks a pass, unless it is a younger hunter...By keeping the doe population in check there is less inbreeding and better habitat for the rest...

This past year we had unlimited doe tags, I killed 8 does and one buck...Out of the 46 we killed this year, we took 8 bucks...By doing so, you have a more intense rut and you see more bucks cruising for does...We can also take 2 deer a day legally...Actually down here in NC, if you are not taking at least 2-3 does to every buck then you are not helping to control the herd...Last year there were over 25,000 deer hit on our highways so the NC Wildlife is begging us to kill more does...

If your state doesn't have the over population that we have, fine, hunt within the regulations and have fun...If you simply lease your land and like to hunt big bucks, fine, enjoy the challenge....But...On a Nationwide forum, don't try to challenge others as to how they hunt...
