Just for the record:

I don't believe I've ever told anyone how to hunt or what animal to shoot. I could care less what ones weapon of choice happens to be... within the law, what size buck trips their trigger or how many deer they should take... within the law (although I do cringe when I see a truck bed full of dead fawns).

I have a lifetime license, but have not killed a deer in Indiana since 2014....by choice. According to my records, I have not killed a doe since 2008 (primarily due to a couple EHD events in my hunting area). My definition of "deer management" has little to do with harvest and much to do with habitat improvement/enhancement.

What does get under my skin is the fact the state in which I live chooses to treat the deer herd like vermin...not much better than coyotes...and the majority of deer hunters seem to care less. That's why I don't fit under the big tent.


There are none so blind as those who will not see.
