If he has horns, I’m shooting. Leave the does alone and there will be plenty more to take his place. I guess I’m the guy y’all all hate. With me its ,,,,, I don't see you killing young bucks then bitching about there are no big bucks .kill what pleases you , I do

just curios hawndog what is your highest scoring bama buck and how old are you? 42 l. Had 2 bucks killed on the property I hunt this year that were 140. 2 more at 130. I have 3 mounted that range from 120 to 140. Killed several more that would have scored higher than any of those, had they not been missing one side. The more deer I kill the less I care about how big they are. I like to go hunting. I like to see deer when I go. I like to shoot a few every year. Hunting they way I do accomplishes those goals.

Killed one good buck this year and a really good one last year. Killed 213 pound 6 year old year before those that i had followed for 3 years!! Guess i am fortunate - watched nice 3-4 year old tonite. Hav my share of mature
I do think the boyz n hood pressure my deer and slow me down a lot with their pressure and hamper success but i light years ahead of where i was in clubs. My neighbors other than the hood i drive thru (they not myneighbor - they only own their yard) seem solid! Solid deer lease and i watch some of same deer year after year.
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self

Something has changed and I haven’t nailed it down but when I moved to my place I could watch at least 5 bucks from 120-140 in the hay fields (at dark in the summer for several years in a row) 5-6 yrs ago.. now never see em ever… If they want to shoot little bucks shoot em, just don’t bi**h to me about not having any “mountable” or “older” bucks to shoot…I’ll keep shooting doe does doe’s

I don’t care what a person chooses to shoot but don’t shoot every spike you see then complain you don’t have any good bucks. My father-in-law has to be one of the most trigger happy people I’ve ever met. We’ve all been there but usually grow out of it. We I don’t call him a hunter. He’s just a killer. Says it’s for the meat but he and the mother-in-law barely eat deer meat. He just can’t stand to pass one up. Gets aggravated when I let deer walk. He’s 79 years old so I don’t bust his balls too much because I think he figures every season, and every deer, may be his last. I just don’t understand why he runs cameras so hard then shoots a doe during rut, or a spike.

Thats not true from what I've seen I blow the shoulders up I dont even gut one . Why would I spend that much time as a average hunter for so little extra meat

Funny thing about all the people who need them for meat. All they take is the hams and backstrap! We’ve never needed it for meat but I do enjoy it and make use of as much as possible and provide a good bit to folks who don’t hunt but are always asking for some deer meat.

Probably the same reason my maw maw would have a fit it you threw back a crappie that wasn't quite 9 inches
