Where are all the big bucks?
 

I read an article in a hunting magazine called where are all the big bucks? It was written by a guy who hunts on several acres of land and he says he never sees any big bucks. I don't know if he shoots any buck he sees, but I will tell you if you just shoot any buck that walks in front of you; you will never see any big bucks. My dad and I used to shoot any buck if it walked out in front of us. We still saw big bucks because we have a lot of property to hunt on but after we stopped shooting small bucks we saw a lot more big bucks. I just want to tell people that if you don't see a lot of big bucks and you shoot small ones thats the problem. If you let the small ones grow you will see alot more big bucks.

Don't forget to take some does too.

I agree with you on one condition...that this is regarding private land..on public land here in CA..you are lucky to see 3 bucks a year. and to get a big buck is far and few between. A lot of hunting pressure and not enough good deer management (aka government doesn't take any does) so we have tons of does and not as many bucks..
