Immature Buck Fine
Due to the reoccurring problem of hunters killing immature bucks, Hickory Creek Outfitters is installing a strict 135" minimum.
There will be a $400 fine imposed for bucks that don't meet that minimum.
The fine will go towards the betterment of the herd (food plots, deer nutrition programs).
This fine is not imposed to punish the hunter, but to encourage him to only shoot MATURE bucks.
That is what you came here for anyway.
