If the guy wants to manage his property that way so be it. That's the great thing about hunting and owning land. besided the dec regs, you as a hunter makes the decision to harvest that animal. Some shoot anything, some by rack size and some by age. Is it perfect? No but nothing is. I go by age on my property. I haven't taken a mature deer since 2006(6pt, 5 1/2yrold, dressed 180lbs) Some would say im crazy going that long but I say I'm fine with it.
