The landI hunt is on a strict management program, nothing under 4 1/2yo....
I assume you would shoot a 110-120" with bad genetics at 4.5 to cull from the heard for future benefit? Some say no thats wasting your tag. Actually that used tag acts as an insurance policy in 3 years you will have bigger 4.5's. IMO Do you agree Texas?

Yes I agree with you!!! We are allowed 3 bucks in the county that I hunt, so burning one for the benefit of the herd would not bother me in the least!!:D
