Help me
 

So I have only killed 5 deer all but 1 were necks but the biggest was only a 4. What are some ways to get bigger deer to come in I only hunt weekends. What should I do anything is appreciated

By the way I am in Tennessee if that helps!


I included a pic of the 4 point it weighed 168 lbs

Well first of all you have to be in an area that produces the size of buck you are looking for.then alot has to do with perserverance,patience,skill and just plain luck

1 way to get bigger bucks is to let smaller ones walk. It will take a couple years, and take the cooperation of neighboring land owners though.

Then factor in some patience and scouting/time in the stand and you will be seeing better bucks.

Congrats on the buck.its great to see young hunters intrested in the sport

Good advice compton

Don't shoot small bucks in the main thing, If you shoot them, then where are the big ones going to come from. Also predator control!!!!

I hunt on a hunting club and we have big deer and nearly everyone has gotten at least a seven but me and 1 other guy who is new do scents or sprays or anything like that work

I killed a 55 pound coyote 3 years ago I think that's the biggest ever killed up there :)

Patience and perserverance...

Yeah same thing everyone else says. Maybe I need to open my thick skull and listen...

Be a little bit glad you dont hammer the biggest thing youll ever see,what would you have to look forward to?are you enjoying the ride?thats what counts.

Dont lose track of what a true trophy is,and thats a personal best.how else do you get to the top?

Yes thanks that helped a lot you have a great point and I love hunting its not about killing its about being in gods country

Hunting
 

Hunt trophy areas. I hunt Catskills, NY and this place is 3 points on one side minimum. Let the younger deer walk.

Also: go up. Head to mountains and go up. Then hunt down. Bigger deer seek solitude after the rut. Down south this is later than up north.

Even during the rut, bigger deer will service does then go up, seeking the thermals to cross-wind a doe. If you are there before him, you stand a reasonable chance at a monster.

I think your doing good now. But the only way to kill a big one, is to let the little guys go. but hey, go out and have fun hunting deer. Dont get to wrapped up in antler size yet.
