Perfect year for antler growth but probably a dud of a rut. My top two target bucks are 8-10 inches smaller this year compared to last. It could be due to age but I think it has more to do with moisture. 8 inches on a coues deer is nuts. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jlreff Report post Posted August 22, 2020 Yes but the Rez does proper fire management also not just grazing. Go up by pinetop they have a example of a properly managed and in properly managed forest. Plus how many people can pay upwards of 500 dollars plus just for a cow tag. Let alone a bull tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
