Buck hunters must also be mindful of the number of points the deer carries as in some areas it takes three points on one side while in others four. Most importantly hunters need to be careful as no deer is worth taking a chance that may injure another human.
Sightings like the image above will provide grist for hunting camp stories to be told for years to come of the "big one that got away".
Good luck Bucks, I'm rooting for ya :)

Deer (firearm) season ended here about a week ago. Muzzleloader starts up shortly.
We have so many deer in these parts, it's necessary to thin down the herds because many are killed on the roads by vehicles.
Nice buck you captured there. :)
Deer season ended yesterday at sundown here. That's a beautiful Buck in your photo. Nice rack. My nephews have a guiding business "Milk River Outfitters", so at times, I'm torn in two directions about the whole hunting thing. I know it's necessary to keep the herds thinned out or they'll be rampant with disease and starvation, not to mention over-population.
I agree with both of you, hunting is necessary to keep deer herds in control. Without the top level predators the deer population can quickly out grow their environment causing an unacceptable amount of forest, agricultural, landscaping, and vehicle damage. However I'm still rooting for some smart 'ol bucks to win :)

Shotgun season here and I do understand the need for it, but already there was a guy killed when he fell out of his dear stand and an 18 year old who fell into a gorge and it took 8 hours to be able to get him rescued...other various injuries....wish they would be more careful.....Michelle
