RE: "Cull buck" thoughts
Guys I was just making a joke. I won't call the deer I mention a "cull" deer, at all. Fact is....he's as mature as any I've seen in my woods. I had him @ 6 yds for 10 minues one day...and HONESTLY didn't pick the bow up, though. I wanted a set of antlers for my wall.....and he didn't fit the bill. That's the truth.
If he were 1-1/2.....NOBODY would have the green light (nobody that hunted with me) to take him. In my opinion, though......if you can get a shot at this guy.....have at it. I never said it was gonna be easy. I've seen him 3 times all season.....and only once had him in bow range.
He's a trophy, nonetheless. He's a mature deer in the woods I hunt. that, in and of itself, makes him an anomaly. I questioned my thought process when I passed on him......but everything worked out for the best.
And Rob has a deer down here with his name on it....lol.
