Since we don't know your area, I am curious. I get the impression from your posts that 3.5 years old is it for bucks that you've seenin your area and no one knows your area like you do. What happened to the older mature bucks??Are they over hunted??I wouldn't think theymagically die from old age after 3.5 years old so there should be a few 4.5, 5.5 and so forth come hunting season. To me... a 3.5 year old buck isn't a mature buck but that hardly matters. Just curious as to what happened to your older bucks??? We don't have your deer numbers but I can find bucks older then 3.5 years old here especially in a low hunting pressured area which most ofour areaisn't. QDM means nothing to most here. I wouldn't think it is just a location type dealso enlighten me please on your area.
Just a side note... Sorryitbothers youthat most's perspective of agood buck hunter revolves around the size of the racks they've taken. Some of us do think otherwise.I've gotten to know a guy from NC and another from SC who probablycould out hunt most of us here. Whileyou would only need 3 fingers to count theirP&Y,I wished I know halfof what they have forgotten over the years.
