Every landowner I know & that is a bunch do NOT use a LO tag yearly. Maybe I am looking at this from too small a perspective/rose-colored glasses but none of my neighbors have walls full of trophy mulies. Most of us have a couple of nice ones taken off land that has been in our family for generations. I just really have a problem with the idea of being an open access kind of guy when fellow hunters who don't own the land, don't work the land, pay no taxes on it or my improvements to it, somehow feel they are more entitled to the deer. Most of my neighbors allow some access. What good are all these great trophy mulies if landowners feel shafted & less willing to grant access??
