I believe your bucks most likely will always be transcient for the most part so if and when you have one in sights shoot it ! my 2 cents
There is 200 acres posted across the street from, which 2 people have permission to hunt, none of them being family members, and then everything else around me is posted with a power line that butts up against my property. So get deer in from all over. But I get them on camera almost everyday this time of year. And then it seems most of the bigger bucks stay, but not the biggest as of yet, hoping the food plot changes that. Thank you for your input, also kind of have that mind set, although more towards shooting anything 8 or bigger since there aren’t a lot of hunters I feel I have better odds letting them be. And we can never guarantee they all live, just hoping the right ones due.
