Several years ago I was making posts just like the one that started here. I hunted a lease where I was passing alot of young deer only to see them come into camp on the back of wheelers from other members. How in the world did I stand a chance at seeing much less shooting any older, bigger bucks if they were being killed as yearlings? Although I still managed to take a few my odds were drastically being cut down. I became disillusioned. I really liked the lease I was on and it had great potential but I was in the minority and like it or not, I wasn't the only hunter in the woods. My solution and maybe yours as well was to move on to greener pastures. I found a lease where everyone was of the same mindset as me and my opportunties of seeing the deer I was interested in shooting were once again a realistic possibility. If this isn't an option and you hunt a small parcel of land then you'll have to grin and bear it and keep talking to your neighbors about the merits of letting them walk.

If he kills a big buck, can he change his username to "longmag?"

Ok Mike, tell the truth, I bet there are a good number of hunters on your lease fined every year for shooting bucks that don't meet the minimum, right?
