[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 199618, member: 2736"] It would be nice to hear from one of the people in the picture before we pass judgment. I was on a management lease for 5 years and we brought the deer from an average antler spread of 14" to 22" by taking all spikes 2+years and older and any thing less than 8 points that were 31/2 or older. These were some lean years but we felt it was worth it to improve the herd. "AND THEN" The land owner got greedy and more than doubled the cost and leased to a company . We felt like doing the same thing (Killing our limit of 3 bucks and two does) but we could'nt bring our selves to take out our frustrations on the deer. but we warned him what the company would do (kill everthing that would die) but he would'nt believe us so we picked up and left. After 1 season they had wiped out 90% of the herd by hunting 12 to 15 clients a week with a limit of 2 bucks and 2 does each for 8 weeks (You do the math),and moved on and found another sucker. Now he day leases it because one hunt and you never go back.He even had the nerve to ask us to get back on.I wont tell you what we told him but it had something to do with where the sun don't shine. I for one will wait untill I hear the story from one of them before I pass judgment. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
