mr.mc54 don't get me wrong, I also think EAB sucks and the last people I'll give credit to is the DNR for the bucks we shoot. We have been letting small bucks walk for years and have found success. We have been hunting in CWD EAB for about 6 years now and that 15pt was aged at 6.5 yo. Now in those 6 years how many hunters saw that buck with horns and in a normal season would have shot it but they didn't have a buck tag. With the number of hunters in our area I would guess at least 3-4 hunters had their crosshairs on him but didn't have a doe thus allowing him to get older/bigger. Look at the size of some of the bucks taken in the last few years in the CWD zones, forget about the DNR, its more proof that letting small bucks walk works.
