Exactly my tactics, try to get meat with the bow early, look to get "my shooter" buck with the ML/rifle. Also, try to take young'uns and first timers with my BAR .243 as much as possible.Spuriosity wrote:All the above. I put half dozen in the freezer most years - we eat a lot of venison. I don't shoot yearling bucks. I try not to shoot 2&1/2 y.o.s. I usually kill several does with crossbow and ML, and then hunt for a big one with a rifle. Consequently, some years I don't kill a buck, and that's o.k. with me.
