Default RE: how grow bigger bucks

I concur with Jason. Let'em walk. I spent my younger years shooting the 1st buck I saw. Inevitably it was always a 1.5 yr old basket rack. As me and my brothers aged, we have passed on those. Plus the Indiana One Buck Rule (I too live in Indiana) has helped keep smaller bucks alive during archery season. As a result we are seeing nice deer on a regular basis. The last 3 bucks taken by me and my brother all scored 125 or better. Our neighbors have also taken their share of 120+ deer in the last 5 years.

I attended a seminar by Mark Drury and he said ALL bucks would be able to score 120 if only they were allowed to get to that magic 3.5 yr window. Now the bigger brusiers need good food, genetics and luck to make it to 4.5 and 5.5 and score in BC class.
