re: Tired of letting deer walk- Update on page 2 deer was poached.

The major problem I run into is low deer population. It is nothing but beans and rice. Every 1000 acres of land might yield 40 acres of timber, and that is being extremely generous. Cover is a huge limiting factor.

If it makes you feel any better that deer doesn't gross 130 inches.

If you passed on a 137" then you would have passed this one too

On this deer it is more about it being mature. He was a solid 4.5. Her he is last year.
And here this year.

The 137 was a year away, plenty of rack already but would have been a true stud next year. I watched him more times at 20 yards last year when he was a 100ish buck than I can count.


Just have a weak spot of strong 8's.
