RE: Mature buck "Age structure" the "Great Equalizer"?
I would think in the 1 buck states, a lot of hunters want a mature deer AND a high score..... And by passing a mature deer with a low score may give them that chance.....
I've passed several mature bucks that didn't have squat for score on properties where I'm only allowed one buck... I did that b/c I know there is a good chance I can kill a deer with both attributes.....
