(Deer Hunting)

Whitetail Hunting

Deer hunting has been a sport I began at an early age of 12 when I killed my first buck. This seemed early in my days but today I have introduced my sons to deer hunting at the early age of 7 and 8. My oldest son harvested his first deer at 11 and my youngest son harvested his first at 8. I began hunting in the old days as a buck only and "freezer" hunter. As the years went by I have slowly progressed into a trophy hunter which means the selective harvest of bucks and the harvesting of does for the freezer. I am currently in two hunting clubs of which both are quality managed. We have a free understanding of the trophy rules and don't prohibit certain individuals such as kids from harvesting smaller bucks. We have managed both clubs for well over 20 years We haven't seen a tremendous increase in antler size but we have seen a tremendous increase in the quantity of bucks and better bucks with increased age. Below are a few photos of deer my sons, wife, and I have taken.
