Default RE: Are you a GREEDY hunter ?

The reason I would agree with DT:
My 100 acres is bordered by 900 that is hunted by two different clubs. I have spoken with some hunters from the clubs and learned how many deer they drove with dogs and shot. From the 600 acres across the creek they shot 97 deer and from the 300 that borders the other side they killed 53. I can only imagine the poor quality of the deer that were taken... if they killed that many.

Now this year I have food plots, mineral sights, and have gated off the only truck accessable road to my property. I have bushhogged the fields in hopes that the deer will congregate, and stayed away from known bedding areas to relax the deer that are on my property. I passed out flyers to the known neighbors warning them of trespassing and the leash laws regarding dogs. I included on the flyers pictures from my trailcams of their hunting dogs (numbers sprayed on their sides) and warned them of calling the warden. I have posted 150 "posted" signs over the bordering property lines.

I feel this way now because I remember the 2 button bucks I let walk, and the other deer that I "maybe" could of had a shot at. They probably ended up in the back of a truck with 10 others on top of them.

I wouldnt go to the extremes maybe that DT has done, but I know where he is coming from...IMHO
