Forrestgump1 OP 10 point F Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 2,635 Montgomery, AL	Would you rather see 5 to 10 deer a hunt, maybe more,and still have a chance at killing some 130 class bucks? Or, would you rather see 10 to 15 deer a year and have a chance at killing a 180 plus? Last edited by Forrestgump1; 07/26/15 12:59 PM.

I think most of the places with bigger deer also have more of them, so I don't think your question would ever be a realistic choice. Last edited by Remington270; 07/26/15 01:16 PM.

I want people to answer realisticly in the sense of how much it cost these days just to hunt a good piece of property and everything else. Its slow around here so I thought I would stir the pot.

Anybody that says they'd rather go for the 180" has probably killed a ton of deer in their life, and has probably never actually hunted many times in a row and not seen a deer. It ain't fun

It ain't fun I've had many days in a row that weren't fun by that definition. When I started hunting in the early 70s in Jackson Co. everybody had days like that. "Why do you ask"?

The first option for me.....especially since I would have to drive way too far from my house to anywhere close to a 180 inch buck lol Life is too short to be small !! http://crshuntingclub.webs.com/

I've hunted places you were lucky to see 20 deer a year and it makes hunting miserable. Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

hayman 10 point Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 4,161 chilton, co.	I would like to hunt a place where I could see 10 or more deer per day and have multiple chances at some 120's. I don't care to hunt a place with very low numbers I just like watching deer and would rather bag a smaller buck as long as I can see deer on every hunt. “Everything Woke Turns To SH_T” Donald J.

Now, if the question was would you take a place that you saw 10 deer a sit and had the chance of shooting a 130, or a place where you saw 1-3 a sit and had the chance of killing a 180, I'd pick the second.
