RE: It Ain't the Lack of Deer
chickory,
A majority of the 1-1/2 year old bucks are being saved (something like 85% of the previous buck harvests were 1-1/2 years old). Now, guys are after 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 year old bucks which have been around the block and learned a few things from their first year.
Which is harder to kill, a 1-1/2 year old buck or a 3-1/2 year old buck?
