I've killed my share of scrub bucks but back then it was public land hunting and opening morning it looked like a busy shopping mall. If you didn't shoot what came by someone else would. Then I moved to lease property. Most was unmanaged and the deer were usually small racked and small bodied. Then I went on a few pay to play hunts and did get a few quality deer. I then had a few friends with private owned property and hunting was decent but deer were spotty. Several places were i between other properties so they were what I called transition properties. Deer just moved threw going somewhere else. Now I'm back to public land but its not over pressured and I have taken a couple of nice bucks there. But I'm more into the stage 5 of my hunting. If it isn't a decent rack buck it gets a pass. Coyotes....don't come by if you don't want to die!!!
