this is why I sometimes pause before posting pics of some of the deer we have running around.
No way in h&ll there would be this many deer like this on the east coast or many places. Not saying one doesn't sqeak out. But their not the norm. It's not that I'm doing anything great or different.
We probably let less deer with potential walk than guys in other places. It's just that our neighborhood and environment allow bucks to mature.
It's why I haven't killed a buck in NJ for 20 years. The best buck I could "likely" kill in NJ gets a pass for 2 more years in MO.
But I don't fault a guy in NJ for killing 2.5 YO 8 point because that's a trophy there and killing it meant they let the legal Y walk.
I'm blessed to be able to play in the mid west. And my jersey neighbors are blessed that we don't kill any bucks.
