Dew, you said your success isn't because of Indiana's regs but the regs that you set for your properties. My question is, isn't the responsibility to manage our own properties on us no matter what and Indiana's responsibility to manage the total state wide deer herd?

You obviously only hunt deer for the antlers and bragging rights. My guess is you don't even eat deer meat which is fine. All of your arguments are based around managing for big bucks. That can be accomplished by managing your own properties and has absolutely nothing to do with the state regs. In my family between my kids and I we can kill a lot of deer however we killed 4 and called it a season. Just because the seasons are long and weapon of choice are numerous doesn't mean the herd gets wiped out. I just don't understand your argument except that you only want big bucks.
