I made a comment on another thread and I had a lot of people like my comment.
It related to the fact that people will shoot anything that is legal in Hancock county. Our club is surrounded by another club and they shoot anything that is legal and will not allow anything to grow to maturity.
The genetics are there to grow really good bucks. Lots of up and coming 8 and a few 10 pointers but guys are killing them all off at age 2.5. I myself have been guilty of this in the past so I am not pointing fingers. Taken more of a stance to pass on young bucks going forward.
We run about 15 trail cameras on our lease and dont see many really good quality bucks. Don't get me wrong there are lots of 2.5 year old bucks and 3.5 year old bucks but those larger bucks are VERY few and far between.
In my opinion If people want deer for meat they should be shooting does. Not bucks.
Should I accept the fact that nothing is ever going to change there?
Just curious if anyone who has a club in Hancock county could comment on this?
