The insinuation that big bucks are easy to kill I don't agree with!The fact that they exist or exist in greater numbers increases the liklihood of having the opportunity to kill one.That is a function of probability and can not be refuted.But easy to kill,no way no how!
A buck that reaches 31/2 years old is an entirely differently animal from the rest of the herd and that only is magnified with each additional year that goes by,with their cunning and awareness.
With the logic that you are suggesting to really challenge ourselves we should hunt where very few animals exist.
Any one with any degree of intelligence can make an argument on either side of this topic.My thinking is basedon free ranging public land whitetails.
I believe that killing is the easier part,the finding and putting yourself in position to kill is the much harder part as it relates to big bucks.Any one who consistently kills big bucks on public land is doing a lot of things right to think otherwise is delusional!
