how many big bucks were shot 5 years ago even 10 im saying above a ten ptr look at this year that 30 ptr in fon du lac and that huge one in sheboygan along with all the others that you dont hear about like all the 14 ptrs. It was warm out opening weekend and deer werent moving but after thanksgiving when every one was sick of hunting people that stayed out in the stands saw nice bucks. In my area we rarely see a nice buck this year a 11 ptr got shot and 14 ptr, 16 ptr and 10ptr got hit within 1.5 miles of my house. If you were a buck would you move to find does during the rut if none was by you? i know i would. Yrs ago there were so many does why should a buck travel out of its sancutary to find them. I know its nice when your a kid or just a mental thing when you see deer but this year i have seen some of the nicest bucks im thinking because of this reason
