I didn't hunt much last year (had my buck In 2 sits) so I can't compare last year and this year. On average though this year I'm having a down year on seeing bucks. I've seen one 3.5 year old mid 120's buck and one 2.5 year old (I think) 115" buck, could of shot both of them. Other then them two I've seen 5 other 1.5 year olds. I've still got allot of good hunting coming In the next couple of weeks so I'll answer your question better when that time comes.
