Most properties have 4 yr old + bucks on it. But, most people can't kill them. ESPECIALLY if it is in a high-pressure area.

Sure, you can allow MORE bucks to get that age and it will definitely increase your odds of one walking by you.
BUT, that does absolutely NOTHING for antler scores.


I completely disagree. Your right that if you include every buck in the state of Alabama that there are mature deer that won't score 130". Never did never will. But there's no way in this world anyone can say that statistically speaking and majority of the time a bucks score is not going to increase with age until he hits his down turn due to old age (7-8yrs).
