Are some bucks impossible to kill????
All the "mature bucks" conversations got me thinking and lead to my question, are some bucks impossible to kill? Say that a hunter has permission to hunt a 150 acrepiece of property and that property is surrounded by posted property that sees no hunting. Can there be a buck on that 150 acre piece of property that is impossible to hunt.
The reasoning for this question is because I have heard this comment from numerous hunters, and in some aspects it applies to me. Last season I knew where a big buck was living, the only problem was that the land made this deer practically impossible to hunt. The property was a hillside of the thickest, nastiest brush you can imagine and this brush was entirely surrounded by standing cornfields. There was a very small creek cutting down the hill through the center of the brush that would provide water for the deer to drink, the brush was a bedding area that was literally impossible to bow hunt (you would pretty much have to belly crawl through it) and the standing corn literally surrounded this bedding area so the deer could feed without ever being seen. This is an ideal spot for a mature buck to live, he has everything he needs in one area that allows him to go about his life without being seen.
In my eyes, this buck was unhuntable, he knew that he was entirely safe in this brush as there was no way to get into it and shoot a bow, and if he wanted to feed he could go anywhere in the 100 acres of corn fields that was surrounding him.
What do you guys think, is their such thing as a buck that is impossible to kill?
