Why do top notch hunters shoot quality mature deer year after year? Sure they scout, don’t shoot young bucks, maintain their land, pay attention to the wind, plant food plots, are in big buck country, ect.

Whitetails are creatures of habit and instinct, they do everything for a purpose and that is actually a good thing for us hunters.
