RE: Are some bucks impossible to kill????
ORIGINAL: atlasman I don't know that I would ever say "impossible".........however, what I would say is that you should analyze the situation and allocate your time accordingly...........don't waste it chasing something you have 2 chances (slim and none) of killing. Spend the majority of your time where your chances are better and then pick and choose a few select scenerios that you think would be PERFECT and offer you the BEST chance at that buck even if that BEST chance is still minimal. Peg your "perfect" setup and only hunt that deer when all the chips are in line (wind, time of day, time of season, weather, etc) and give it your best run on those few select chances. This way you don't waste the majority of your time chasing a low percentage long shot...........but you will still feel like you gave it a good run and put in some smart thought out hunts. Plus if you bag him how sweet will it be to know you beat him with your brains and skill...........instead of just sitting him out. The above is great advice, I will add unless you know the buck is there it is hard to kill him. Most of us(me too) simple do not know what is in our woods. We have an idea, but unless we have the woods under 24 hr watch, we just do not know. There was 180'' double drop tine buck killed along US 23 in 2001. I drove by where this deer was killed everyday. I never layed eyes on him, and neither did anyone I know. Someone saw him got permission to hunt the land(land owner did not even know) and killed the deer. Ghost bucks do exist IMO, but these guys are 5.5 and up, and they know things:D |

Huntingbry, i think i read that exact article. I think it was saying that once they reach that age, they know the deal and become more concerned with survival instead of breeding and fighting.
As for impossible to kill bucks. I dont think that there is any deer that is impossible to kill, although some seem it. I read in one magazine one time, think about how many trees a deer walks by in a day- Thousands. You could have a tree stand in any one of them. A deer has to move atleast alittle bit dureing daylight hours. I might be mistaken, but i have heard they have to eat every 4-5 hours, not necessarily a ton, but they will browse alittle, there has to be atleast a slim shot at getting every buck. So in closing, i guess there is no impossible bucks to kill, just the ones im after![:@] |

I believe some bucks are unkillable (because of where they live, or they're personalities). If I'm wrong, we'd have far more record-book bucks falling every year!

RE: Are some bucks impossible to kill????
depends on who is hunting him

RE: Are some bucks impossible to kill????
I think most are killable, but given the right obstacles like in your situation, anything can happen.
