5 year old buck +
This biggest deer we have around are 3 yr olds typically 125-140s. Ive killed the biggest ones ive known of for several years... Im just talking about getting them beyond that. Were lucky to have 3 or 4 bucks at 3 yrs old in about 5-6 square miles. They are the biggest ones around. I can keep off our land, plant the plots, etc etc... but its a rare year where one gets to 4 or 5 yrs old. Or maybe I should say it doesnt seem to be any more common, since weve left our property as a sanctuary. Its frustrating. I hope this year i eat my words... as I know the biggest 3 yr old is still alive as of this morning
There are a lot of pheasants now. I will say that! And I will crush the coyotes and hopefully a turkey. So I cant act like all has been lost. I guess I wouldnt be doing it if i wasnt having fun. It would just feel good having the satisfaction that its worth it!
If you kill the 125-140s 3 year olds every year, you are part of the problem, if you want 4+, you can't kill the 3s.
