There hasn’t been a buck shot on the 400 acres I hunt since 2017. The neighbors kill them all before they reach maturity. I have 2 4 year old 6 points and a 3 year old 8 point I hope make it to next year but it’s not very likely. Neighbors asked me the other day if I had seen anything decent and complained because they weren’t and all they had killed were baskets…. There’s your problem! if you do that year after year your always going to have the same results. Had a 3 year old 9 point in the yard every afternoon last year and they blasted him the first day he crossed the line in season. SMH
I hope you had a conversation with your neighbor about why theyre only killing basket racks.
