RE: land owner
As a landowner I practice QDM on my 100 acres and have a couple rules. Does- shoot.
Bucks- no spikes or anything 4pts or less. I have never seen a "big 4". Basically use common sense, if it has a basket rack or smaller let it walk. I've been doing this now for the past 5 years andI am starting to see some nicer deer walking around my place. Obviously I hunt it and a friend or two who I might invite with me. I tell them up front, if you can't follow these rules there is plenty of state land down the road.

RE: land owner
a land owner has every right to lay down the rules for their land. they are doing you a favor by letting you on their land.
its like someone coming to your house and drinking your last beer, or changing the channel while your watching the game. you have set rules to follow in your house, and if someone didn't abide by them would you invite them back?
there is obviously a reason why they have said that you can not take a certain deer and its up to us as resposible hunters to respect the land owners wishes, other wise we will all be stuck on public crowded land.

Do you believe that the land owner has every right to say which type of deer theydont wanttaken out. For example bucks with 4 pointers or less, button bucks, etc.
