[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5550954, member: 20583"] One could argue a 5.5yr old deer anywhere is tough to kill. There aren't many deer getting that old and the ones who do are able to do so because they are good at evading humans. Good luck with your experiment. Other than one bully buck I have never had what I'd consider a "management" buck. Pretty much all the bucks that I know for sure are 5yrs+ also tend to have the largest racks in the area I'm hunting, so I'm hunting the biggest bucks available. Doesn't mean they're huge but they're the biggest I can reasonably hunt, and that's good enough for me. Not very often I actually see a small racked old buck, let alone have one hanging around enough to be a concern. Here in this part of TN it seems 110"-120" on 150lb body is pretty normal for a mature buck. I'm sure somewhere in parts of the county there are a few bigger but they're rare as hens teeth. I've not seen one in person or on camera. [/QUOTE]
