Where will the biggest buck come from?
 

Not talking actual location, but rather type of hunting area.

Let's see history tells us in 2004 it was private, I do not know about 2005's only it was Buffalo County Wis, and 2006 was an outfitter.


I am going for the DIYer! Private all the way :)

I hunt private land that belongs to paper companies, that is opened to the public. So, I call it public land ?, I am not sure how you would call it. Up here the biggest deer will come from these lands.

I agree.....Private land.

Darn it! I clicked the wrong selection. I meant to pick private land. Outfitters have some great bucks, but they receive a lot more pressure than private land that may only have a couple of hunters on it.

Good poll

RE: Where will the biggest buck come from?
 

Private due to the fact that deer management could be followed allowing for mature bucks to grow and be harvested. Chances of a5 1/2 year old bruser to servive is better on private land where access is limited.

Well put. My thoughts exactly.

Private land isTHE big advantage to mature bucks.

IF the outfitter has a LOT of land itll come from him but if he ahs got a small amount then itll be public. When i went to Illinois i hunted three different properties between me and my dad we saw a shooter on each of these properties and the outfitter still had land that a hutner hadnt touched that year
