[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1222028, member: 4319"] Of course not, you live in Nebraska! :D The herd couldn't withstand it? Here's what you do! 13 inch inside spread limit with 4 points to a side, one buck per year. IIRC, most deer killed are yearling bucks. Adjust the doe limits accordingly. Now we are getting somewhere! Spread limits and a 1 buck limit means we'd grow the big bucks and at the same time reduce the harvest to sustainable numbers, 3 1/2 month rifle season means hunting ops could sell yuppies the chance to sit in a box a watch for them every weekend for 3 months straight. A 3 1/2 month rifle season would be awesome! Especially for those of us in the most heavily hunted counties of the state. We'd always have plenty of hunting buddies, invited or not! Shhhh....can't wear blaze orange, we beeing vewwy vewwy sneaky. Hunting deers on other peoples land is like hunting wabbits. Be vewwy vewwy sneaky. [attach=full]77745[/attach] Over a decade on the same place with an average of 30+ nights in a tent, I can tell you when gunshots at night are heard and when the trespassers are seen. Hint: It's not bow season. 40 years for the landowner, during rifle he hunts trespassers more than deer. Rifle season is fun for a while, but after the second weekend of hearing jacklighters shoot deer at night at seeing trespassers we are about ready for it to go.
