Default RE: poll on quality deer management

Like most of the others here, I'm both. I try to shoot a big mature doe first for the freezer then hunt trophy bucks only. Had kind of a weird thing this year...a massive racked six pointer? I mean his rack was extremely thick, but only a fork and a long brow tine on each side. The brow tines were probably six or seven inches. I passed on him for two reasons. (1) I believe he'll get a lot bigger because I'm pretty sure this deer is only two years old, and (2) he frequents my back yard. I like to watch him and test out scents and other things on him.[&:]

But knowing how things go around here, someone else probably shot him. Won't know till after firearms season closes.[]
