[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1780465, member: 110162"] 3.5-4.5 year old bucks are nothing to sneeze at . Sounds like your after them pretty good to take mature animals in less than ideal hunting locations. We have it " pretty " good here in Ga . It depends on where you are. There is a pretty strong movement towards quality management here now. For many years it was a brown its down state , and still is in alot of areas. You have to get in a good club, if you want to see descent deer kn any regular basis. I always bow hunted public land . I'd see maybe 2 shooters a season, that's gun and bow season together Sept to Jan. With archery gear there was no guarantee you would get a shot on one of the 2 you might see . You have no control over hunting pressure, so a patterned buck would be subject to change patterns without you ever knowing what became of them. I would walk anywhere from 70 to 136 deer a season, waiting for the right buck. It was pretty tough to harvest the few quality bucks I was lucky enough to put an arrow through. I cant come close to being able to push that hard anymore . [/QUOTE]
