I am excited about the deer management that brimstone is encouraging. I have a friend that leased some land last year in morgan county. There were 5 people that hunted it and they killed nothing. they passed up several small bucks and a few big ones. one guy passed up a nice eight point just because it looked young and he knew it had real potential. This year they bought a digital camera. they are getting 300 plus pictures a week over a narural spring. they have eighteen bucks, 8 of them are trophys.one nine point that i saw with my own eyes will probably score upper 140s. No doubt, some of the bucks wont hang around, and these guys didnt grow all of them bucks in one year, but they did help things by not shooting 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 year old deer. Just imagine what they will have next year. I hope every one that leased land on brimstone will try to manage their deer in the same way. If so, we might start seeing some of the same results that my friend did. Cheesy

I have implemented a rule at the club this year. It will be mandatory to take a doe before they can go for 6pt or better. with a 14" spread or better.

hopefully this will get started in two directions, less does and a better buck pool... "let em grow and shoot more does"
