Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 While on my uncles spread yesterday, I spent several hours not seeing or hearing a thing as it has just been overly quiet in his area. Just as I was getting ready to leave I noticed some movement coming from the apple orchard and heading back into the timber We have set up a size standard for the taking of any buck on this property. When I first saw him he loped from the orchard, and then just stood broadside in front of that large stump in the left of the picture. I grabbed my camera and he had moved just a bit. I'll call this buck Mr Lucky because he is just to small to take this year. I know some whould have pulled the trigger but we have to manage these property right. I've got my uncle agreeing with me that we need to see bigger bucks, which means let them grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah, he'd never be bigger than a spike if you killed him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitetail Freak Hunter Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 In our area the buck doe ratio is such where you can get 5 doe tags for the valley in our HD 107 At least I know I am doing my part on the management issue by letting the younger ones walk. I have a set goal for an acceptable shooter buck, and I will not take one until I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
