It's our club rule. I am going to turn off me feeder a week before the season. We have a four point or better rule in place also to let out bucks get some age on them before they get shot

At my deer club, we have a rule. When you come across one of those bucks with just nubs and no antlers....we take them out. Obviously they have something wrong with them.

One week is not long enough..... you could still get a ticket. Read page 47 in the hunting regulations.
