^^ I got more old deer than i ever had and keep pressure way down. On a stand today the first time i hunted it all year 🤣🤣. Got one stand been there for 5 years in the hardwoods - just started hunting it this year. Had 2 six year olds daylighting - but they aint 130 🤣🤣. Most people just dont hold stands for years waiting to hunt and its on fringe of hardwood sanctuary
All i am saying is 130 rare. The Town had a 130s 14 point last year but it rare here - he was not on me but close and they were hunting crap out of him - my pressure stays down. I can go most all of jan and never hunt my buck field most seasons. Studs hit it - 6 year olds hit it - but no 130
I hav one that may reach 130 this year. Lot of my property is a sanctuary. In 6 years i hav had prob 4 120s and this maybe 130. I think it can produce a 140 - had a mega stud few years ago that disappear at 4. Just very hard to see here. Think i maxing out potential. Got 9 deer over 5 on a 256. Thats hard to do on a 1000
Feel lucky - watch some of same deer every year - lucky to hav this place
TDog what’s keeping them under 130? What are they lacking? Mass? Width, tine length?
