RE: Do you target bucks every time afield?
next year ill be hunting more towards your way. this year i was buck hunting. i even came to half draw on a cow of a doe..less then 15yds away broadside feeding calmly with a grown yearling. this was my first year and i didnt know any better than not to hunt GOOD areas till the rut ect...i just knew in another couple weeks shed be "Bait" sure enough i think it was the next weekend i got my shot at a buck after her and the fawn came though. not sure he was following or chasing..it was early yet..but he came out after they came through..
ill be a new hunter next year. i want to find a few areas with alot of deer to take a doe or 2 from to get the first bowkill out of the way...just need to break the ice and ill take the meat for sure! this year i didnt expect to get to hunt as much as i did..but wanted the big bucks in the areas i was hunting..
