I am not asking what is the most abundant deer in the woods but rather the one who is most susceptible to being taken by a hunter.
Common sense should tell you that the most abundant deer will be the easiet to kill by sheer probabilty alone. If there are 100 1 lb bass in a lake and 2 7 lb lunkers which do you think will be the easiest to catch??
You have to see something before you can kill it..........so whatever you stand the best chance of seeing is what will be the easiest to kill.
This of course will be different in nearly every area out there.
I have said many times that I believe the yearling (1 1/2 years old) buck is the most foolish deer in the herd.
Even if that were true which I don't agree it is.......by sheer numbers alone you stand a much better chance of taking a doe or fawn if you are just out to whack a deer........thus making it easier to kill one of them.
I think it is laughable that you would say a 1 1/2 year old buck is easier to kill then a motherless fawn.
Even funnier is how dumb and easy to kill you rate these "yearlings" but suddenly a year (or 2 max) later they are the most wise, crafty, cunning, beasts that only the bravest of hunters even dare attempt to harvest.
Easiest buck I ever killed was a mature 13 pointer...........so that's what gets my vote
