[QUOTE="BHR, post: 651637, member: 43641"] Surgeon, i appreciate the time you spent on your response and there is a wealth of knowledge embedded within those paragraphs. Iv'e been very hesitant to say what i'm about to say but here goes....I don't care about damage to meat. I know this is going to offend many people here but the whole story is that in my area we have a major over population of deer and crop damage is reality. The farmer whose land i hunt had to replant 2 fields totaling approximately 150 acres of soybeans last year because the deer simply ate the entire field over a period of 2 weeks. Because of this the farmer brought in a group of dog hunters and allowed them access to a 1500 acre portion of the 3500 acre farm for the last week of hunting season. 43 deer were killed over the course of 4 hunts, and the dog hunters don't care if the deer are trophies or yearling does. The bottom line is that if we don't use all of the assigned doe tags this year, then the dog hunters will be back in late December to shoot the 15 inch bucks that we've been letting walk. I have located an organization in a nearby city that will accept all the deer we deliver for butcher and redistribution to the needy. At this point seeing as the drive is an hour round trip i would like to waste as little time as possible following blood trails in the dark. With all that said and hopefully behind us........
