Now would it create an issue if a person is filing out the kids, wife, cousins to their place to shoot whatever unfortunate deer shows up on the property?

So by letting bucks get older and not killing them at a young age, we are avoiding these problems? Don't kid yourself, the management of deer is in place to create bigger bucks, not stop water pollution.

I thought they were "our" deer?

So that is what AR's are doing, stopping water pollution since they are letting bucks get older! That is the answer to the million dollar question.

I will never have a problem with any child taking any game..they are our future..no problem with a spouse either.. But if you are having all your aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sister in laws coming out and slaughtering everything then I guess when you have no more deer the there won't be a need to have them over anymore..

Nope. You own no deer...unless you HF'em, then they might as well be yours.

Personally, I believe that the vast majority of owners and hunters are ethical and good stewards. You seldom hear of a lease that allows you to fill all of your tags with no restrictions. In fact most leases allow you a trophy, a cull/management and a couple of does. Many only allow one buck.

I think the issue is with a few poor stewards that shoot all they can and sell the rest. Is it their right to do that? Yep. But don't they also have a moral obligation to their neighbors to not do that? Yup.

And this is where the quandary begins.

Good fences make good neighbors, so they say.

I honestly feel this thread was directed at Stxweishuhn

I'm sure this was meant for stxrancher or whatever his name is..He is like Larry Weishan or whatever his name is and thinks if its not on his place or a deer he shot its not worth pulling the trigger on.
