[QUOTE="justin_h635, post: 2413534, member: 24704"] My hunting partners "control" (meaning no broken parcels in between) a few thousand acres along the Canadian and also another large ranch away from there. Tons of cameras, handful of selected hunters including residents who live on/near. In other words, we know this land and it's surroundings like the back of our hands. Now granted this is not Grant county type of land with good protein of corn, gsorg, etc. Heck even the wheat is limited and although we have plots, they are small. We as a group have passed year in and year out on bucks in order to get larger bucks (with a few exceptions of some knothead older bucks that we allow a child or 2 to kill). We see more than our share of bucks on cam and off. We see bucks get older but don't see much antler development to be proud of. My point is, you can let buck after buck walk if you want but that doesn't guarantee crap. This year, we said screw it. We selected breeding 6's, and old 8, etc and drew blood. Does were rare. Anyone who thinks they have deer management figured out is a fool. [/QUOTE]
