RE: Optimal Age to harvest a deer
On the finest trophy class ranches in the nation, they don't hunt a buck until he's atleast 5 1/2. I know they have seen some tremendous jumps and peaks in anter growth on the BriarWood Ranch, near here. They also won't begin to hunt a buck until he's 5 1/2 and have had some incredible 7 1/2 and 8 1/2 year old monsterstaken on the property!
