Very good points guys. I too have been pondering this as well. The area/property I hunt has lots of deer, other parts of this zone do not. It is a tough topic. I have to say, I agree with you views on the QDMA issue. I admit, I was drawn in to them at a show, joined, then I started reading their magazine they send…well, let’s just say, I’m not a member anymore.

We all need to get over the big antler craze. That’s why I don’t agree with PA’ antler restriction….It’s more about keeping deer population and land sustainable for the wildlife. I love a big rack as much as the next guy, but I love the animals more!

I would love to have our regulation/bag limits in PA more localized.

I think self regulating you own area would be great, if you did it right, and did it for the good of the animals and land. I think a lot of people would abuse that freedom. I have come to realize, there are a lot of people out there that like to just kill animals…

I like the Leopoldo quote. I think it is perfect for this post!
