Yeah, you can see all the Biden, Hillary and Sanders voters on here.

I know a couple guys that hunt about 1k acres. In the last 4 years they have killed 13 bucks one of those was aged at 3, two were aged at 4 and the other ten were aged at 5+. Nine of those were killed on green fields. The biggest obstacle to killing mature deer is having mature deer and it ain’t even close.

X2 on Mikes last sentence

I hav 2 properties and the property I hit harder - my very best deer stayed nocturnal

The other property I hardly hunted my best deer showing up often now and has been for a month

For me it pressure and wind and u hav to hav the deer first

My first sit paid off for me again this year which is often the case if Nobody else pressured

I don’t hunt the wind
I woke up late
I was hungry at 9am
I washed my cloths before season
That was my granddaddy’s stand.
That’s too thick to hunt
I kill what I want, I see mature bucks on camera and they ain’t easy to kill.
That kind of thing?

And the only way to have mature 4/5+ bucks is to stop killing all the 1, 2 and 3 year old bucks.

We've got a three buck limit.

Read more carefully.
The post was about the most common ages of bucks that people kill.
Most 1, 2 and 3 year old bucks are killed every single year by hunters.
Very few bucks are allowed to make it to 4 years old, much less 5 years old.

Yawn

Same people will be on here bitching about chuckie telling them what to do!

A 1.5-2yr old buck is way better to eat then a 5-6yr old and you save your does. Way better sausage also. A nice young spike is prime vittles. Just ask Quailman.

I know you can't kill them if you don't have them, but I figured most areas had some and they weren't all killed now. I thought by adding more mature bucks to the mix but continuing to hunt the same way in the same areas, you'd have the same results. Maybe I'm wrong. Definitely not advocating for more restrictions.

This comparison of deer management and political liberty is as preposterous as it is ignorant. A man advocating for conservative management of a shared resource can only be right.

And why is it that the argument ALWAYS goes this way??---- Two landowners side by side.
Guy A is virtuous and enlightened, an "if it's brown it's down, no rules" kind of hunter, a loving saint who pets lambs and feeds starving children and is the only kind of hunter who TRULY enjoys the outdoors, he knows what's REALLY important about hunting.
Guy B is an evil trophy hunter, a miserable grump who robs the fun from hunting and stomps on kittens. He has been brainwashed by Stan Potts and needs therapy to return to the grass roots pursuit of tasty venison
(yes, the sarcasm is intended because that's how y'all freakin' act)

Guy A ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS accuses Guy B of being a Democrat, a hunting Nazi, who advocates for more restrictions, and tells him he's being authoritarian and selfish. Because CLEARLY Guy A doesn't in any way, whatsoever, ever at all, affect Guy B.
Those deer cross the boundaries all day and night, every day for the entire lives, and Guy A shoots any of them whenever he wants. But Guy B is the selfish one trying to ruin it for everybody? Give me a break. It truly is just like politics after all, the very ones who are actually a negative affector, accuse the other side doing it.

I'm tired of being bombarded with the folks on hunting AND fishing shows telling me:
"What It's All About"... It's getting real old.

It’s all about what you want to get out of it Tree Dweller - it’s your hunting experience

It's the people that piss and moan constantly about a deer has to be X amount years old or have X amount of inches of antler to be killed. It's all about hunting and enjoying the time in the woods/outdoors. I don't have to impress anyone but myself of what I legally kill/ or don't within the laws and regulations of the state. Asshats that insist on TROPHY STANDARDS for everyone that hunts ARE the problem. Everybody wants to kill a huge massive buck yet to pressure yourself is one thing but insisting everyone do the same is not only wrong but hurting the entire deer hunting sport. Just like houses ,vehicles, etc, Everyone has the right to their personal standards.

I know of a pile of mature bucks killed on food plots over the past 5 years. Most never post pictures. I’ve personally killed 4 (5 year old) bucks in plots in the same period. My son killed 1 and missed 1 (he’s 11). The thing is we ONLY shoot mature bucks on those properties and we don’t shoot does AT ALL. But to say very few is just plain wrong.

Plenty of big bucks are shot on plots and shooting houses every year. Both my sons (8 and 10) shot a 4 and 5/6 year olds on food plots this year. Both were in broad day light too. People often overlook the most important part. That’s pressure, or lack thereof.

^^^^👍

Pressure n Wind

Thousands of 5+ yr old deer die on food plots yearly. Most of those die about 4:30 pm deer are dumb dont over think it

I think the problem is everybody is right in their own eyes and want their own way.
