[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5127715, member: 2474"] We actually killed our best buck ever this past season and I feel that the change did have at least a little something to do with it. Nine yr old grandson & got in a shooting house around 1:00 one afternoon. About 3:00 I see a buck about 100 yards off the plot working his way towards us staying parallel to plot. He'd pause now & to then to scent check and look into plot. I kept thinking that he had a huge rack but couldn't get over how small his body was. Convinced myself that because of his small frame that his antlers looked overly large. He stopped about 100 yards from us with head behind tree but body perfectly broadside to us. I whispered to Kaden that I could easily kill him where he stood and he loudly replied, " but Papa I don't want YOU to kill him"! As the buck trotted straight away from us I could tell that he was much better than I thought.... Next morning another guy ( new member of course) gets into a tripod stand in select cut pines about 150 yards from the other side of plot. About 8:30 the same buck comes by him doing the same thing between him & plot. He made a better decision than I did and killed him. Scored 167 with right G4 broke off! Deer only weighed 156 lbs and looked like a midget. Obvious that the buck was comfortable moving around in daylight. Up until then there hadn't been a shot fired on that plot all season. [/QUOTE]
