[QUOTE="slabhead, post: 5808516, member: 1176"] I'm curious about something...we've been hunting on some land for five years and we've seen some bucks grow bigger over time. We've let the smaller ones go and shot them later. Some of them we recognized from the photos we took over the years. Some of them we never saw before. Three years ago, we got another track of land about four miles away. We've also let a lot of bucks go there, some that were hard to decide. But most of them we never see again. It seems like every year there are new bucks around, mostly small 6s and 8s, and a bunch of smaller ones. I think we've got photos of at least 15 different bucks this year, and we've seen most of them from the stand. There's one buck there that's a big one, so maybe he's from last year, but we don't see any of the others from last year or before. It seems like they leave this land when they get older. There's not much hunting pressure around here, as far as we know. We never hear any shots close to us or see or hear anyone. So where do the older bucks go from this land, why do they leave and new smaller ones come every year? [/QUOTE]
