    We all hunt for fun, right. If you have a good time just shotting the first buck that walks out so be it. You had a good time and that's all that matters. But if you don't mind waiting for a good buck even if that means not shotting a buck for a year or two that's fine too as long as that's fun for you. Great thing about trail cams is you know some of what you have running around and that lets you know whatthe potential of your hunting area is, somewhat. With that infoI knowwhat to hold out for. But, just cause he's around doesn't mean you'll kill or even see him. With this being said, I hold out for a bigger buck as long as I can but I will take a smaller buck towords the end of the season if it comes down to that. With my small budget I just can't justify all the corn, buying new gear, gas, pre season prep and all my time in the stand to have a buckless season.I just can't do it, I just can't afford to. Plus, I seem to hunt a different property every year or two anyways. Things might be different if I owned my own property to hunt or had a lease I hunted every year. And I can't afford to do either of those. So untill I own my own place or have a lease Iknow I can hunt awhile I'll always shotthe best buck I can get.

    I let em walk. Let 10 different ones walk last year alone and that's on a 100+ acre low fence place. I hunt for fun and for the hunt first and meat second.

    I am strong believer in conservation, so I would have to say that I am always thinking about the future since I have two young boys that will eventually hunt. I hunt on several different ranches that have different rules, on Rancho Sueno Mio we only harvest one mature buck per hunter every year and spikes, and never shoot does with fawns or shoot does period until doe season. But, at La Mota ranch it seems that conservation has never existed and it use to be shoot anything on site, but these last two years I have gotten more involved in bringing in conservation minded thinking to the lease members and it has benifitted the wildlife tremendously in the short term, especially with the hog population!!! But, becuase of hunting pressure from neighboring ranches the deer hunting is still hurting!!!

    Shoot em young and thats all you will ever have, I'd let em walk, public or private. Mgmt works thats why I think the antler restrictions are fantastic. I've seen that system work wonders on my friends place, took a few years to age the bucks but he has em now as before you were lucky to find a fork horned yearling. Low fence
