I would say that realizing that a mature buck is really a different animal then other deer. They have to be hunted different if you want to kill them.
I'm just curious as to why you think this is true.
We have guys who "most" every year hunt the does and end up killing bucks. They are seemingly hunting these bucks the same way they hunt every other "deer".....and sometimes not hunting the bucks, at all.
If we're talking times other than the rut......then I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think they are "different animals" in that regard.
Rob/PA is a perfect example of what I mention, above. He's shot almost every one of his bucks from the same food plot stands.
