my properties have some historically high deer numbers. I've been killing 40 plus does a year the last few years. When we weren't having winters a booner isn't out of the question. When we have winters it's hard keeping bucks, especially mature bucks alive. I went into a buck bedding area......3.5 from 2 winters ago
2-1.5a from 2 winters ago
Nice rub in background
2.5 from this winter
Bucks need a lot to recover from the rut. Food plots won't do it in insane density areas.
The most frustrating part I haven't shot a buck on my place in 3 years, but I have 4 dead ones I found just this year. I found 2 different bucks dead last year too. That 6 dead bucks in 3 years, not good!
