Hey Buck Magnet, think about this...
You hold out for the bigger bucks anyway. I saw your pictures and you've gotten some nice ones. Wouldn't even your area benefit if some get to be a little older? Not just the forkhorns but also the 8 pointer that is elusive enough to not let any hunter get a good enough look at him for a shot? Some of those will be saved too. If you ever get up Cooks forest way, stop at the Double Diamond deer ranch and look at their antler collection. A lot of junky racks at 18 months become exceptional at 3 1/2 years and up. This is not meant to offend so please don't take it that way... Knowing where your deer came from (the general area anyway) the pictures would suggest that even the biggest one is probably 2 1/2 years old (yes I could be off on this from just a picture) If I'm right, wouldn't you like to see one like that a year or two older?
