Hey y’all,
I have been hunting my own 20 acres for the past 7-8 years. I usually take 1-2 deer off it each year.
There are a lot of deer on the property and see deer most hunts until late December. Every year I am LOADED with young bucks. It’s always 3-4 spikes, 1-2 4 points, and 1 6 point. It’s been that way every year for the past 7 years. I keep passing on these young bucks with hopes of them turning into something decent, but that never happens.
I do have a good number of does on the property as well. Should I start burning a buck tag each year and try to thin the young buck herd or do I keep passing them up?
