I’ve used more of the Cutting Edge than anything else. I started using it two years ago on the land that we lease. We’re very fortunate to have this lease program. Most of the surrounding land consists of creek bottoms that are surrounded by prairies. We mainly have wooded tracts of land.
We’ve always seen deer and a lot of bucks, but not real big deer. Most of our big deer were in the 130-class, but we wanted more mass on our bucks. The Cutting Edge not only helps the does stay healthy, but it also helps the antler mass on our bucks.
My brother shot a 173-inch non-typical the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We’re now seeing a lot of bucks in the 150-inch class. We were seeing 130-inch deer and now they’re 20 inches larger on average. Cutting Edge definitely works.
The biggest deer I’ve taken scored 135 inches. I’ve seen much larger, but haven’t gotten them within archery range. If the deer isn’t going on the wall, I don’t shoot it. In addition to his 170-inch monster, my brother also shot a 150-inch deer.
