23 deer taken

[skeet]

We had that problem back in Md with a bunch of guys who rented the farm across from me. After the first week or so of archery I found the deer were hanging around my place all the time. The farm amnager finally told 'em it was his way or the highway..If they wanted to conmtinur=e to rent the place..any buck they shot HAD to be mounted..if it didn't happen they lost their lease..just like that. All of a sudden they stopped killing all the little bucks. Took a couple or 3 years but the larger bucks started showing more often...but they still came over to my farm during hunting season....BTW..that hunting club was a bunch of guys from Pennsylvania. I asked 'em one time why they shot ALL the bucks and that it was ruining the herd. They actually told me they were renting the place..it was their money and they could do what they wanted.. I just told 'em..well I live here 24/7/365. If they wanted to rent the place next year(at 18,000 bucks per)... They wouldn't even see a buck cause I would kill 'em all..Then the area would be rid of them..the club. Then the farm manager (a long time friend)..changed their rules for 'em. and raised the rental too..
