Consistent? Re: Mature bucks.

[buckeye]

When one talks of killing mature bucks consistently.... What do you consider consistent?

Every year, every other year, every three years, every five years?

What do you define as consistent?

To define consistent of killing mature bucks..

I take it on a personal level. And define it by the man.. not the masses.

I agree for the most part,..... Also to have a "true" answer, if there is such a thing many things would have to be taken into account.... Herd size and age structure, local hunting pressure etc etc...

Just looking for a generic definition from the "masses".

I just go by the rack period. Here a three year old can have a dandy rack. I don't consider 3 mature by any means.
I think if a guy can put a brusier on the ground every few years he is doing really good.I have had a couple of back to back seasons with nice bucks but I have also had several year droughts on bucks over 150.

I would say every yr or two.

Personally, every 3 years is great consistency on true mature bucks, 4 yrs or older. They just don't roam that freely, anywhere IMO.

I'd be happy to take one every 3-4, although i've been luckier.

I would say every year if you spend about the same amount of time hunting and nothing changes or alters your hunting area.

I would say every couple years for extended period of time. To the point that the guys you hunt with are always quizing you an wanting to know where you hunt all the time.
