RE: WHAT is it about a BUCK????
all i do is bowhunt. the day i stop getting buck and doe fever while im at full draw is the day i stop bowhunting. i only have 1 pin on my bow and i only shoot at 25 yards weather its a buck or doe. i dont kill button bucks or fawns.
every buck i take his antlers go on my wall. where i hunt theres alot of deer and im happy with either a buck or doe. i hunt for meat not for sport. antlers are just a bonus. im all for harvesting doe and culling small bucks. some people say bucks are harder to kill than doe. i dont agree. if you spend as much time as i do in a treestand bowhunting then you will know that there is not a differnce. deer are always weary weather it a buck or doe.
to answer your question what is it about a buck? its not that they are smarter, but they grow antlers and thats where the bragin rights in some people are. i on the other hand dont care on how many points all i care about is making a vital hit. all the deer i killed with a bow died in less that 30 seconds and i never had to do a track job.
