ya know Big Country sitting here thinking about it i was wrong saying that mature bucks are an easy kill..i was letting the antler size determine maybe the maturity of the animal. which i dont really care about the antlers.. but still they change their ways..
oldest two bucks i have seen and not killed with in bow range ,,were pretty aware during the rut pretty much went on about their business,i tried to stop them, both had somewhere to be and was getting there..this happened different years not on the same day...
i know antler dont determine the age of a deer.. heck my oldest deer was a 6pnt four one side fork on other but very old and heavy deer..
