[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5214217, member: 20583"] Keeping some bucks during daylight isn't a problem. The uncontrollable part is [I]which[/I] bucks call it home. Given the habitat and space there is a fairly static population with a fairly static age structure pyramid. For instance say each hollow has one 5+, a couple 3-4, and some underlings. That represents resident bucks, and then there is an array of other bucks who pass through or spend certain seasons on the property. Ideally I'd like to sample and hand pick each buck that calls my place home, but I can't. The deer sort that stuff out on their own without my consideration. I know there will be a certain number of each age class, but absolutely no control over which particular bucks they will be. The younger they are the more predictable it is. But once dominance contests begin, it's a guessing game. I might want the 160" 10pt 5yr old but a very aggressive 130" 8pt 4yr old might just push him out and take his home. That's an extreme example but that stuff happens. [/QUOTE]
