What needs done is like I said state wide education on aging deer. Example, last year I had two buck just like him at the age of 1.5 walk in during archery. I let them walk and ended up eating tag soup. I could have easily taken either one, but didn't. I knew they had potential. On the other hand last year I saw the biggest bodied buck that I have ever seen in my life. I would have guessed 5.5 or older. I could shot him because he was only a big wide 4 point. If I was able, I would have taken him in a heart beat. Now if we could only teach 500,000 other hunters that same mentality, the bucks could and would grow to have the great racks that we are all debating about.

But it can't be done because it would cost to much and people won't listen.
