Getting neighbors onboard with big buck mgmt

I hope you were joking on calling the guy an idiot by saying soil type is what grows big deer. I don't think he meant actual soil but the mineral content of the soil in putting nutrients in what the deer eat. Soil rich in nutrients grow healthier plants that help grow bone structure in horns. Also it is not hard to age deer by pictures. Thats how you effectively manage a deer program by taking mature deer not just certain point and spread criteria. We try to only harvest 4 year or older deer (minus kids or people trying to kill their first deer).
