I would say your right. But all three of those bucks were either A. still on the mothers milk or B. just got off of moms milk.Look on the bright side that’s a 33:100 buck to doe ratio. Your beating the average man!! I’m usually around 10:100

I posted a picture of this little 4x4 buck and got lots of grief for not shooting it 
Granted I know how big the bucks can get in here but still. I didn't realize there was no winning in picking what animal I should shoot (though I'm going to be picky regardless).
But hey at least the ebike squad is zooming around taking care of them.
Limited draw for mule deer here but they still haven't come back, kind of sad not to even see them in the high country anymore. Habitat really is a huge factor that I think we often forget the nuances involved in it.

Should probably make them blow and see what the BAC is.

I spent the day in the north central part of the state. Things looked pretty bad for mule deer and I didn’t see any whitetails. I watched two little 4 points that were blissfully unaware that they’ll both be dead by this weekend.

I was pretty sure I saw him roll through town today on the back of a wheeler.
Wow..... over by November. I watched a dink 3 point breed a doe yesterday and every buck i saw in the last 11 days was rutting. That guy is clueless

I will not name names but some of those biologists are good. It was not a guy. I was also told we are in our glory days I don’t know how good we have it and if I’m unhappy I need to gain access to private. Does will be bred in December. Over by the beginning of November is simply dumb. Some years it hasn’t even started.

Seen him at the gas station by McDonald’s when I was there today. Or his twin. Shoving bags of ice in his chest. 65 degrees

I saw him rolling down Main Street. I was impressed.

Deer food is not a problem in the big fires, If anything there is more of the plants that deer like to eat. The less cover is the issue. With the hunter numbers, and season we have now any deer that stays on the public is likely to die.

Fires in areas that have management create big deer. Disturbance is good.

I never got to hunt my NR deer combo this year.
Looks like I didn’t miss much, other than my $600.
