Wow Michihunter, not sure how you got your comparisons? Yes, 2 doe have came off the property in 10 years - a 12 year old nephew and my 74 year old disabled father in law each took one - so yes we have shot does. Minus new or elderly hunters, we do practice QDMA with our own agreed upon APR's. 2 1/2 year olds are a minimum/must with the exception of youth/elderly. Never yet seen a universal rule book on QDMA? In my experience, 300 yds - equals - 300 yds. My property has the cover, theirs is mostly pasture. They neighbor has no problem with beer, campfires or ATV's and has "partaken" several times over the years. Have not shot a deer rifle in the past 5 years since he asked us to stop - and we go to the back of the property if we shoot smaller caliber weapons - after calling and providing a courtesy. Kids vandalized the property - ok - I cant prove otherwise. We would love to leave him alone and be left alone. Our presence is always known, and, we have encouraged all the neighbors to stop by for dinner or coffee when they see our vehicles in the driveway. Deer/Taxes is all he ever wants to talk about. He's walked the property with me and was given permission to cut the downed hardwoods anytime, and weather he's doing it or not, we have told them we appreciate them looking after our cabin. Does that clear anything up for you, Michihunter?
