I like the idea of seeing, and hopefully killing better bucks. I let some bucks walk, usually spikes, forks, and small basket racks. This year, I didn't, due to a very limited time in the field. I have been passing small deer for the past 3 years and yes, we are seeing increases in the size of the deer on our property. But that being said, we are also getting more deer that are nocturnal, so we are .....more or less...getting "trophy" deer that are too smart to kill. Am I the only one that has noticed this happening...more big buck sign.....but no increase in the amount of trophy deer taken?

I may have to call in a pro to help me out with my big bucks lol....I can't kill them [&:]
