[QUOTE="deerhunter10, post: 5550883, member: 11992"] They do like crazy. I can't tell you how many people talk to me in August and think they have a 140 to 150 inch deer and most are 125 inch deer. Also many people struggle aging like crazy they look at the rack and go strictly after that. We killed one this year that was not a huge body but he was 6.5. Had him aged also had picture of him since 2.5. He got shot at 4.5 and survived. But the few people I showed pictures of him to said he was 3.5 and 145 inch deer. He scored 134 and some change. We have been fortunate to kill some big deer. A pile of high 130s Several lower 140 inch deer. Our best deer is 145 and some change. We have been managing for years and our philosophies for us have changed the past 2 years. We have been really focusing on management bucks. We are trying to get our deer which we think have the best chance to top out inches wise a chance to reach that potential. We have the acres and lack of pressure around us to try it. May work my not in the 2 years that we have been doing it haven't noticed anything concrete I would suspect that this year or the next if there is something to it we should be able to see it. I am tempted to throw this year off to the side with just how dry we got and the stress of that. Ms state is putting out great stuff. The biggest misnomer of a management buck or cull buck is that they are easy to kill and hunt. When the majority of these deer they are talking about in the video are mature "trophy" deer. A 5.5 and up deer in tennessee is a tough animal to kill and should be considered a trophy I know we consider them a trophy. Mossy oak did a podcast with these guys that explain it very well and made some excellent points while doing it. [/QUOTE]
