5 smaller vs 1 bigger

I'll take the 5 120's

 

If it was a 150" every 5 years, I'd possibly go that route. If I hunt Til I'm 70 that would give me 11 or 12 heads on the wall all over 150. That would be a pretty successful career I feel. Of course if it were 5 mature bucks that had heavy massive 130" racks... I'd probably go that route

 

I'd take 5 doe over 10 years before I ever hunted for 10 years and got one buck.

 

5 120-130s, a brother has to eat too.

 

5 smaller buck for sure! send all the 130 inchers my way

 

give me the 5... that's a lot of backstraps

 

I'd take the 5 in a heartbeat, but if I had the luxury of hunting a specific buck and it took 5 years to get him then I would be happy with the one in 10 years.

I don't hunt for publicity or profit (nothing wrong with either), so my standards aren't overly high. Although I do have the patience to let some walk early on in hopes of a bigger one, once the rut passes so do my chances.

 

Sense I don't hunt for antlers I hunt for meat. I would take the 5 smaller bucks.

 

I choose neither....if I sucked that bad (in my area) I would just quit.

 

5 120 - 130's

 

I would take the 5 smaller ones. Only takes 125" to get in the state record books here.

 

I'd take the 5 over the 1 but then again I would settle for one I could be proud to put on my wall I've been cursed in the buck department since I restarted bowhunting 6 years ago and let me tell you a lot has changed since I originally bowhunted in the early 90's so once again I'm relearning whitetail deer and how to hunt them. It doesn't help I'm in a new state and don't have a ton of land I haven't seen a big buck on its feet during the day.

 

5------->120-130 all day. Not even close in my book. I'm out there to hunt and take some deer down. One big buck every 10 years?? LOL , that's like 3-4 bucks in a good hunting lifetime. Screw that. I put WAY too much time and effort into my season to kill a buck a decade.

It's more of an accomplishment to shoot 5 120-130's then it is to shoot a single 150-160. Anyone can tag a single buck on any given day.

A friend of ours hunts this way and is happy as can be.........he has only killed a single buck over the last 6 years (155) and he is fine with that...........more power to him as I think he's nuts because I know what he passes up but whatever floats your boat.
