[QUOTE="rlt7272, post: 823737, member: 435"] I hunt public land and have for years. Those of you who also hunt public land know how hard it is just seeing deer much less having the luxury of picking out which deer is older. Deer management is easy talk from guys with leases, food plots, feeders, ect. Try telling the guy who has been in a stand for 5 days that he should be more selective when he shoots the only deer that crossed his path. Don't get me wrong, I envy you guys that have lease set ups and cams, I honestly do. However I feel that you are loosing some of what I feel is the thrill of the hunt. If you pattern your deer based on what time the feeder kicks on you should be more concerned about deer management because that is really all you have left. The way I hunt has produced small deer, big deer, and sometimes no deer at all. I don't make it a habit to shoot spikes or small deer, however, I know that if I start being too picky on deer slection and let a small one walk, that next sound I hear will probably be the next hunter along the trail that was not so picky. Antler restrictions, no. Total bucks in a season, yes. [/QUOTE]
