re: Davis Island

I hunted there when all you would wee were spikes and small basket racks. We got Harry Jacobson over
to evaluate the herd and start a buck problem. We used a huge net on one end of a coffee bean field and drove it catching a few does and a decent 10 point in velvet. We collard those those and a fellow from Ferriday who will remain anonymous killed the 10 point the following spring. To this day he is called "collar killer". We were told to shoot does and spikes for a couple of years then told to shoot no spikes, only does.

Finally we were allowed to shoot a few does and trophy bucks only. There are some serious brutes on the Island now. Just like Somerset, you better not shoot anything under 140-150.
