[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 3698559, member: 10006"] [b]Re: Does removeing an old buck improve retention?[/b] Thanks BHC. This is the exact reason I asked but wasn't sure if what I was reading on that particualar QDMA thread had any shred of validity whatsoever. For the first time, think I may be seeing this (cameras) in the exact area where an old, ornery, scarred up, bully of a deer was killed last muzzleoader season. 3-4 deer at a mineral site...bully comes into the frame with ears laid back and they scatter. I have numerous pics of a 3yr old with incredible potential in 2012, a single pic last year, and then he left. I pulled the card last week and whaddya know...he's back as a 5yr old. When I read the discussion about bucks in that 3, 4, 5 yr old range possibly getting tired of being pushed around my immediate thought is that may be what happened here. Don't know for sure of course, but was curious as to what others in the area had experienced. When that deer you mentioned above was removed on your place, did the other one move into that "dominant slot" or was he just glad to not be dealing with stress anymore? [/QUOTE]
