One of the things that I’ve seen while traveling around tracking that has really been a surprise to me is how many big old bucks are being killed in areas that people don’t even think about as being big buck producing counties or areas. Certain counties get talked about like Macon and Bullock and Russell because of the number of deer that are there…..but I track for folks killing big ones….let me rephrase that….”shooting at” big ones…..
......in every county around me. Some of the biggest I’ve tracked have come from Elmore and Coosa ….There’s just not as many deer in some places….There’s still big old bucks in the lower density areas though.
That’s why I was saying that I think you’d be surprised how much more widespread it is for old bucks to exist….I think it has a lot to do with the existence of strategic locations that give the deer an advantage over us that we just about can’t beat. I think those spots produce old bucks and they can be anywhere deer exist.
