If you have never seen a 10pt mature deer in 54 years of hunting does a light bulb not go on in your head that something is wrong with the state of the deer herd and the managemnt practices over that stretch of time in this state?
Same thing here in NY. I know5 guys over 60 years old that have never killed anythingbigger than a6 or 8pointscoring under 90 points. They have dozens of racks laying all over the place, spikes, 4 pts and 6 pts. They are still wanting to shoot a big buck but are still killing all the small ones. Some of these guys tell me all of the big ones are nocternal and thats the problem. It is sad that they have hunted their whole life and still havnt figured out how bucks get big (age). It is also sad for thebucks themselves that they are
not allowed to live more than a year and a half unless they are very lucky. One and a half years of life,give me a break!
