RE: How often do you SEE a mature buck ?
 

I live in what others call the land of the GIANTs & yes we have them. N.E. Iowa & N.W. Ill.. I guess I average a couple "seeing" every year BUT not a single BUCK this year while on stand.

RE: How often do you SEE a mature buck ?
 

I refer to a mature buck as a 3 1/2 year old. This year I have seen 4 and had one in range. Over the next ten days that number should triple. As far as seeing 4 1/2 and older its usally 1-2 a year. Have seen one this year.

Depending on what you refer to as a mature buck. On our property, its a 4 1/2 year old. Usually, I'll see maybe 2 a year. This is counting before season when these guys are usually more visible in the fields.

So far this archery season.........0.

I have been lucky, I have not had the oportunity to see very many while bowhunting the last few years. It only takes one to make a mistake. This year #3 was the unfortunate one. The first two I rattled in and they ended up smelling me. I hunted 17 times this season (I think), saw three mature bucks, and tagged the third 11/01.
