I get zero thrill out of killing a buck under 4 yrs old. If I kill a 4 yr old 4 pt, I'm pumped!!! It's about growing mature bucks for me. It's about habitat mgmt, deer mgmt, turkey mgmt! I haven't killed a buck since 2012 and have passed up some low scoring bucks that were 4 yrs old or older, but I tried to get some kids on those bucks.
But nothing turns me on more than a big-antlered mature buck!!
If I need meat, I'll shoot a doe.
Performing work on my tractor is more enjoyable than shooting immature bucks.
