The property owner can do whatever he wishes within the laws and regulations of the state.

If a person wants to go catch a limit of smallmouth everyday and clean them and eat them, it is perfectly legal. If a man wants to fill his deer tags with small deer, it is perfectly legal too.

I don't think it matters whether you let a 4 pt. walk or not. Plus, the big record deer that are killed usually have better genes and better smarts than those that get picked off early in life. Record deer have different habits and get big because they are smart. If the guys next door know anything about big deer, they shouldn't be too worried...a dummy deer was just eliminated from the gene pool, and a tag was filled with a deer other than their monster that they've been tracking. I think I would be more sick if a guy next door told me he shot the 12 pt. that I had been tracking for 3 months.

I would GLADLY lease your Dad's place, because he won't put the effort in to get the monsters! Ha ha ha!
