Done. Big fat zero.
I have other things to tend to and predator reduction to focus on.

Not done yet. Got one more doe or buck to get on the ground before Sunday. The doe I got Friday night didn't fill up the freezer.

Shot my Buck on the first day of Rifle season in Kentucky. Was planning to do some hunting with my M/L but the weather turned too nasty.

Been done since the 16th November. Running 3 feeder's and 3 mineral sites which have been getting plenty of attention. Pulled trail cams last week and seeing good number antlerless and some pretty good bucks that survived. Concentrating on coyote's for next month or so.

I went for 5 years from 2010-2014 then got a bow kill 2 year old buck last year, awesome meat and a decent feeling being a bow kill. Then this year scored on my biggest that I had waited those 5 years for. My advice, don't be too picky in Indiana unless you have just unbelievably killer turf (read: little to no pressure), this is not a state managed for mature bucks.

My advice, don't be too picky in Indiana unless you have just unbelievably killer turf (read: little to no pressure), this is not a state managed for mature bucks. I would agree on your point for public land but totally disagree on private land. Not states job to manage private land for trophy bucks, that is hunter's responsibility at local level. You have to let a buck get age on him which means passing on young bucks. I killed a 166" buck this season and my hunting partner a 195" non typical off of our respective farm's. We both already have trail cam pic's of several 130-150 class bucks frequenting our farms. Build them security cover and offer them plenty of food/water sources and you will have plenty of deer. Don't shoot immature bucks and they will grow. I do not understand why hunter's want to blame their lack of success on the DNR.
