I don't like rules...It would also be hard for me to tell you what to do because I bet bucks in your area will run larger than bucks in NC...Kill a 125-130 class buck in NC and you have a great deer...

We also farm, is you land currently being farmed??? I ask simply because typically farmers want to keep the doe population in check...Is this area overpopulated??? If so, you might need to spend several years taking does only and letting bucks walk...

Do you believe once a spike always a spike??? Will other hunters be allowed to take a "management" buck...My brother believes in "management" bucks, any buck he can manage to take...

We take 40-50 deer a year off three farms of about 850 acres...At least 80% taken are does...Years ago, we all would take 2-3 bucks and 1-2 does...Now we take far more does...We see less deer but have bigger bucks and more chasing during the daylight hours...

So, if you have land that needs to get the doe population under control for the first couple of years I'd go with each member takes 3-4 does and 1 buck a year...That buck has to have antlers past the ears (18 inches) and at least 4 points on each side...

Personally, I'd even let that buck walk, as does don't grow antlers and they eat better than bucks...Good luck...
