Harvest Goals for a New Hunter
Filed under: Ask Grant, Deer Management, Hunting Tactics
Dr. Grant, I’ve been hunting for a couple of years now and I’ve shot two deer including a button and an 8 pointer. I want to know if I should kill more does or bucks? Thomas
Thomas,
What you harvest depends on your personal goals as a hunter and the deer management goals of the property where you hunt. With that said, make sure your goals are realistic. For example don’t hold out for buck that scores 150” if very few bucks with antlers that large have ever been harvested on the property you’re hunting. Having realistic objectives will allow for more satisfaction from your hunting efforts.
Growing Deer together,
Grant
