Sorry to hear it, but i bet there are just as good, if not better deer out there. Remember, during the rut, the bucks will travel far to find hot does. The two bucks I shot this year had never been seen on my land before. Reason I know, my cousin spent all summer/fall scouting and running trail cams to see what kind of deer were moving on my land. He lives closer to my land and asked if he could do it. I said sure, as long ashe let me know what kind of animals have been moving.
