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?


It’s tough to get all in this part of the world, obviously width matters the least in the math, but if you have good tines, it lacks mass visa versa.
