RE: What are you saying when you say....
I hunt hard for good bucks. Do I see alot? NO. Do I love it? YES! Are they mature? HELL IF I KNOW.
I don't have many chances at nice bucks. For example, I hunted my behind off this year on public land. I saw 3 bucks this year...total. I arrowed two of them, a 6 and 8 pointer. I felt lucky. I went to one of my buddies farms for just one day during the tail end of the rut this year. I hunted about 8 total hours and saw at least 8 different bucks, 2-3 of which were 8-10 pointers....I take my hunting experience as a grain of salt, knowing I don't have a great place to hunt, but thanking god each day that at least I have a place to hunt....thank you Marine Corps for letting me hunt on one of your bases! I tell them thank you each year on the base. Everyone else could be complaining that they aren't seeing anything and that hunting sucks, but I am truly grateful to just have a place to hunt.
