[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4541067, member: 2805"] If your hunters are similar to the crew that hunts my farms, you would probably only kill 40-45 bucks annually... not enough to dent the average number of mature bucks available for the following year on 18,000 acres. We have 9 hunters on my farms. Typically, those 9 hunters only kill 3-4 bucks. Last year was an anomaly, when we killed 5 bucks (but one was a guest of a guest, so we really should have only taken 4). Point is, with a 1 buck limit, most adult hunters are very, very choosy about what buck they pick to end their hunting for the year on. But those that still haven't killed yet stand a very good chance of encountering whatever type of buck they want to shoot late in the season. I'm probably the least picky of the adult hunters, as I'm no longer hunting for the biggest buck in the woods. I'm happy just taking an average mature buck each year. Maybe if I ever get a 170"er on trail cam, I'll hold out for him, but I'm not holding my breath :) [/QUOTE]
