Yep..IA, is always going to have big bucks. Food, cover, low pop of people and no gun season during the rut, plus no over the counter tags sold. MN and MO allow guns during the rut ansd over the counter tags sold..coincidence they don't have as big as bucks..yet geographically the same. I think not.
Too many hunters out east of the Mississippi IMO. Move west young man..low pop of people and big deer. Plus Obama is from IL..enough reason to leave that state.[8D]
Im confused, can you expound on how no hunting during the rut allows for bigger antler growth over a deer across the state line? Because guns aren't allowed during rut in IA, a 5.5 buck there has bigger headgear than a 5.5 deer across the line in MO or MN?
Pretty simple..you want bucks to reach maturity..don't allow guns during the rut..bucks are thinking with the wrong head...you uever done that before.. I have. [:@]
I gotcha. You are saying that it allows more bucks to reach maturity...not that they are bigger once there, correct? I agree on all accounts then.
