Gus...
Is it easier to kill a lot of deer ......if you hunt where a lot of deer live?
I can tell you the answer to that question is "YES".
So....wouldn't it stand to reason .......if there were more mature deer (insert name of location, here)......that they would be easier to kill?
Takes NOTHING away from...nor does it even take into account a hunter's prowess. It's simple math.
Having success hunting whitetails is determined a lot by geography and willingness to wait it out and perhaps eating tag soup. I know that.
My question was more toward the "challenge" aspect that so many seak of while championing the the idea of not shooting young bucks.
If the woods are littered with 4.5 year old deer would it be that difficult to kill one? I see a lot of the same people who are "trophy" hunters also advocate that you "let em go so they can grow". Seems like they are after the horns more than the challenge........
4 1/2 year old and older bucks, by their very nature are more challenging to hunt. It's like hunting a different species.
If the woods were "littered with them I would think that it would be somewhat easier to kill one, but I can't say for sure. I have never been in woods littered with mature bucks. Has anyone?
