Reflecting on some huge bucks taken, I'm starting to realize that all this time/ money we spend trying to grow " big" deer ain't what it's .....
For years, I've planted food plots, put out mineral sites. Always with the assumption that it'll help bucks get bigger. Begginging to think it a bunch of b.s.
Few bucks come to mind that we're shot YEARS ago that we're taken before any of these practices were even though of and taken in areas with little to ZERO ag fields.
MN Monarch (sheds).
Jordan buck.
Breen buck.
Koberstien buck.
Hanson buck.
Hole in the Horn buck.
The General buck (sheds).
Mel Johnson buck.
Del Austin's buck.
All World Class deer before any of this gobbilygook taken before any of us " idiots" , (yep, me included ) spent a dime on trying to grow and think what we do and spend $$ on makes a difference.
Many millions of $$ have been spent / made on this habitat/ foodplot/ land management stuff thinking if we do this/ that, we can grow huge bucks.
I know the area where the Breen buck was killed very well. Hell, even now, ain't no ag within MILES.
Solid Bush!.
Mn Monarch, Solid Bush.
Nothing to eat but browse let alone wolves/ bears.
Gonna keep planting food plots / mineral sites for years as I enjoy doing them but my perspective about doing so to get them " bigger" has began to fade.
Age and genetics Trump's anything we plant.
