Here's a question for everyone;
What is the total number of points on a buck that you would shoot at?
I hear alot of people say that unlimited DOE hunting is killing the deer herds in Jersey, But you need to keep the DOE's numbers down for bigger body deer. Most of the SO CALLED HUNTERS go by the "If it's brown it's down". From my years working on a ranch in TEXAS, That took hunters out and had a great deer management program. You can't shoot young bucks, That is the real killer of the Game herds anywhere in the World. I wont shoot anything less then a 8 pointer, unless it is badly hurt or deformed. 8 pointers for the most part are 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 year old deer. Do you shoot 6 pointers and under?? if so maybe you should think about not hunting if you want to have a nice herd where you hunt. I know...I know.. "If I don't shoot it, someone else will" If you think like that .... THEN YOU NEED TO STOP HUNTING ALL TOGETHER...
8 points or more... I only shot 1 Buck under 8 point in my life.
