[QUOTE="bigorangmd, post: 1132412, member: 2211"] Unfortunately I think it will always be hard for a government agency to be effective mandating anything across an entire area. Unfortunately it comes down to personal responsibility. Each individual hunter carries an awsome responsibility. I constantly have to be aware of what my buddies are doing in respect to their harvest. Since they don't "own" the bucks they care less than I do about herd health. It's easy to think that not seeing a mature buck is due to weather, luck, moon phase, etc. and not that they've been taken away. It is so often underestimated how quickly "Trigger-finger management" can alter a herds make up. Just a couple of hunters taking just one immature buck off a property can have long lasting effects! I think the only way to have true effective herd management is aging on the hoof. I don't think it's above the average hunter, just more work than the average hunter cares to do. [/QUOTE]
