you could do like the idiots were doing in georgia this past weekend and shoot first, sort later and hope you dont get caught, but i dont think that is a good method.

i hunted in dooly county, saw some great deer on the trail cams, but they seemed to be nocturnal. its a qdm county, so 15" inside spread or better and it shows.

My dad's lease is about 80 miles NE of Dooly, up in eastern side of Johnson County. They implemented minimum limits on antler size, and also encouraged the taking of older does. They go up to plant/maintain food plots and put out feeders during closed season (can't use them in Johnson county during the hunting season). They've had the lease about 5 years, and the deer are improving every year. One guy took two 8-pointers this year, both around 170lbs. There are 2 "ghost" bucks on the property, one 10-point and another huge 8-point. They have found their shed antlers the last two years, and my dad saw the 10 point one night jump the road about 200 yards from camp!

As for quail, we hear them all the time, and sometimes hear shotguns and dogs we think must be quail hunters on nearby leases (no deer dogs allowed on any leases in the area). I sat on the stand one morning and watched a covey work its way across a hill, wishing I had a 12 guage with #8 shot instead of a .243 in my hand!

small game in Upper Hillsborough you can use your bird dogs, I see 'em there every year . and there are a lot of birds out there. No quota needed for the small game either. I'm taking rabbit dogs in there this year.
