VIDEO – Late September Hunt

Any buck is a good buck if you’re happy with it – let me start by saying that. I always fear being seen as a deer snob by having some standards of what to shoot. For us on our farm, we have decided to manage by trying and harvest older bucks and letting the younger ones walk. We’ve set the line around 4yrs old, meaning that we try and only shoot bucks that are 4yrs and older. This is not to say that we don’t get excited at times and mess this up, but we are beginning to see some good results by doing this over the course of the last several years. Research shows that bucks are expressing most of their antler potential at 4 although there can still be significant growth after.

However you decide to manage where you hunt, I wish you the best this year and will continue to release weekly videos of our successes and failures both past and present – Enjoy!
