This has been our best year ever from a Buck harvest standpoint, since I started leasing the property in 2002. I have witnessed first hand the benefits of providing the right nutrition to our deer herd with Imperial Whitetail products as well as practicing good overall deer management. We have seen nearly as many bucks as we have does this year, even though a lot have been spikes and yearlings. Those are the Big Bucks of tomorrow, though, so hopefully we will see them mature into “shooters” over the next few years. I personally have let nearly a ½ dozen bucks walk this year (not spikes and yearlings,) which I normally may have taken in years past. The main reason is because I know we will never have the true “Big Boys” out there if we don’t let them grow up!
