RE: Throw out deer management
YUP, and the first, second, third etc etc etc. My year long project is to hear TWACK, see blood on the ground and smell onions and backstraps frying. Oh I have some no no's, but first and foremost I hunt to kill a deer once in a while. If I were to get to the last day of the season I really don't think whacking that basket rack 8 point is going to destroy harmony in the wild. If you don't have a large enough piece of property or you're hunting public land with no restrictions you're peeing in the wind if you think you as one will make a difference. I'll eat venison before I say "herd management" or "Management buck" or for that matter "Harvest". I have yet to harvest a deer. I've killed the hell out of a lot of them though. If I'm hunting someone elses land and they have rules or request in force I'll abide by them and all game laws.
