Thanks fellas. I have a feeling there are a few big boys around. They generally come out around late June and July to the mineral site. I know there was 4 bigger bucks around that should have made it from last season. At least I hope so.
I have come to face reality that I may not kill a buck this season. I have not shot one buck with a gun since 07. Started bow hunting in 08 and killed a 6 pointer. I was tickled to death with him. Last year ended up killing the sexy seven with my bow. My first deer I had trail camera pictures of that I killed.
Now I am to the point were I am trying to shoot only wall hangers in my eyes. With the bag limits here in MD and the above average doe population. I would rather take out several big does for meat than small bucks. Let's face it I cant eat the antlers no matter how long I boil them.
Not saying I will only shoot a 4 or 5 year old bucks either. That's just not being realistic in my area. Thanks for letting me ramble.
