We generally try to go for bucks 3 years old and older. Not that we are trophy hunters but we like watching them grow and keep tabs on them all year. I'm always tickled to get a 3 year old, and being a numbers guy our 3 year olds average 123" over the last few years.
That being said, we have let several 3 year olds walk the last few years that we see and feel confident that stay in the same area most the year. In hopes to get a older buck and one that possibly scores higher than one we have killed before. But we have yet to kill one that we can confirm was a 4 year old plus. We dont see them any more while hunting and very rarely on trail cams. That leads me to my question.
What do yall do to change the way you hunt to kill the older deer? And have any of you noticed the same thing?
