Good post! I read the whole thing. I agree with you for the most part. I don't think people should just rack hunt all the time but there's always going to be people that do that. You and I realize the importance in shooting does also and we do our part, but like you stated, in order for it to work everyone else has to do their part too.

I hunt on a small 150 acre lease my fathers friend leases down in central FL. I do what I can to improve the land whenever I'm there, but it's ultimately his responsibility. Several old friends and I are currently searching for a lease and when we find what we want, I will dedicate a lot of my time to managing it. I'm not specifically going to try to build monster racks, but I will have food plots, mineral sites, and feeders going just to keep the animals there and healthy. And we will definitely have a good doe harvest program.
