yes, Texas you are right. That was the point of shooting nothing under eight points and rack wider than the ears. It was sort of a way to communicate to some of our other hunters that we only want to shoot the older bucks that have had a chance to grow and breed. We have started filming and taking pics of the bucks that we want to harvest to help identify them to our younger hunters. This weekend I let two great looking eight point bucks walk. They are probably only 3 yr olds but have nice potential. I did shoot two very large doe this past week and saw many more. We had a mild cool front come through and that seemed to do the trick. I have seen some signs of large bobcats on the place so I am concerned about that limiting the deer traffic through our place as well.

Thanks for the replies, and info.
