Tom, I feed the deer in the winter 100lbs a week have 12-14 regulars at the piles each day I can whistle and they will come, sort of like Pavloffs dogs, do not know if that is the correct spelling of his name? I only allow 8 point or above to be taken and have several days in which to harvest does, we do not have the big deer like you guys do but occasionally we get a few 200 plus, Nice bucks you got there!

I used to use the eight point rule also, but now I just limit my shooting to
three and a half years or older and antlers wider than the ears. I've seen some three and a half and older deer with less than eight points, although most are at least eight. The biggest deer ever taken on the property was a massive seven pointer.

A 200 plus deer is big anywhere. I would guess that most of the three and a half year old deer on the property are 170 to 180 pounds dressed.
