Young Buck Shots Outside

While many hunters want the opportunity to take bigger bucks, the bucks frequently shown in magazines, on TV shows, and on hunting-related products are rare in the wild. To help hunters better understand what buck populations look like in New York and have realistic expectations of what they might encounter afield, in 2015 and 2016 DEC collected additional antler measurements from 2,176 bucks across the state. The picture is clear; when hunters choose to let young bucks go, they do grow - with antlers nearly doubling in size from 1.5 to 2.5 years of age.
In recent years, some hunters have expressed strong interest in increasing the number of older, larger-antlered bucks in our deer population. This could be accomplished through a variety of regulatory and non-regulatory approaches. New York hunters have divided opinions about buck hunting and many greatly value having the freedom to choose what type of buck to harvest. DEC worked with experts at Cornell University to evaluate various buck hunting strategies (e.g. mandatory antler point restrictions, 1-buck-per-hunter rule, shorter season, voluntary restraint) in a way that accounted for regional variation in hunter values and the impacts on harvest, population management, and hunter satisfaction. Based on that study, DEC concluded that regulatory changes are not appropriate or most compatible with hunter values. Encouraging hunters to voluntarily pass up shots at young bucks best balances hunter interests across the state and is now our management direction. For more information see PDF links below.
DEC does have Mandatory Antler Point Restrictions in 11 Wildlife Management Units in southeastern New York. This program will continue as DEC encourages hunters elsewhere to practice voluntary restraint. Over time, as more and more hunters in the broader region opt to pass on young bucks voluntarily, it may be appropriate to lift the restrictions.
Minutes later, a handful of does came out of a drainage ditch that travels northeast in front of the blind. A small buck followed them, eager to scent-check each doe. Unfortunately for the young buck, a larger foe was about to take over.

Late season is the toughest time of year to avoid mistakenly harvesting a buck while trying to harvest a doe, and that applies for bow or gun hunters. Deer tend to bunch up around remaining food sources, so button bucks blend back in with doe groups. Add to that the complication of any slender young bucks which happen to shed their antlers in early winter, and there are plenty of opportunities to make a mistake in the heat of the moment or in fading light, even when targeting the larger deer in the herd.

Gary Simons says he took his sons out to the woods Saturday morning and as they were sitting their with rifles looking for squirrels, a young buck wandered right into their spot. Simons pulled out his phone and began recording as the deer sniffed his sons, looked around on the ground for food, and then even began licking his pant leg.
The Jericho Appreciation Society vs. Eddie Kingston, Santana, Ortiz, Bryan Danielson & Jon Moxley (Anarchy in the Arena): As expected, this match was basically chaos from the opening jump, with all 10 men brawling around the arena and blood being spilled. Matt Menard was bleeding wildly early and Moxley also began bleeding moments into the match. Wild Thing continued to play through the match until Jericho smashed the sound board. Jake Hager was put through two tables with a Street Sweeper to the outside of the ring. Daniel Garcia hit Ortiz with a piledriver from the apron onto the ring steps. Everyone was paired off through the crowd, around the ring, in the concession area and anywhere else they could brawl. Moxley unhooked the top rope and used it to crotch Jericho while Kingston and Garcia brawled in a freight elevator. After more chaos than could really be typed out, Moxley and Danielson were paired with Jericho and Hager back in the ring until Kingston stumbled out from the back with a can of gasoline. He dumped the gas on Jericho and Danielson until Danielson tried to stop Kingston from setting off a lighter. Kingston and Danielson brawled until Jericho hit both men with a chair and Hager sent Moxley onto a table full of barbed wire. Jericho hit Danielson with the turnbuckle assembly for a two count. Danielson fought off Hager and Jericho until they were finally able to take him out with Jericho locking in a half-crab and Hager wrapping the top rope around Danielson's neck until Danielson passed out. If you were hoping for chaos out of this match, you got it. Blood, big moves, wild brawling, barbed wire and the threat of a man being lit on fire. Professional wrestling at its most ridiculous and honest. The Jericho Appreciation Society def. Eddie Kingston, Santana, Ortiz, Bryan Danielson & Jon Moxley via submission. Grade: A+
Harvest has a tremendous impact on white-tailed deer buck size and antler quality. Over-harvest of young bucks is the primary factor limiting antler size in Oklahoma. Statewide, it is more limiting than the other important factors of nutrition and genetics. In 1994, aging by tooth wear indicated 96% of the Oklahoma white-tailed deer buck harvest was less than 4 years old. A white-tailed buck generally does not reach its maximum body and antler size until it is 4.5 to 9.5 years old. The Oklahoma buck harvest data implied that only 4% of the buck population got old enough to express its growth potential. Only a fraction of this 4% had the genetics and nutrition to produce trophies. This is why trophy bucks are so rare.
When the goal is to increase buck size, it is important to let young bucks live and harvest enough does to keep deer numbers below carrying capacity of the habitat. This allows deer to receive optimum nutrition. For this goal, deer harvest should be comprised primarily of does and mature bucks. To increase buck size, hunters must either harvest so few bucks that they do not affect age structure of the buck population, or hunters (or hunting guides) must learn to differentiate between young bucks and mature bucks. At a distance, buck maturity can be crudely estimated by observing antler mass and body mass.
Trophy buck management is relatively ineffcient on most properties without a high fence because most bucks are exposed to harvest elsewhere. However, if larger bucks are a goal on any property, shooting young bucks just compounds the problem. An option to manage buck harvest on some properties is to limit each hunter to only one buck per year and require each hunter to pay a taxidermist to shoulder mount any buck harvested. Also, a limit should be established for the total number of bucks that can be harvested which should represent no more than 10-33% of the available bucks.
This young buck didn't want to stay and play! These guys are our local sub-species of Mule deer, called Black-tailed Deer, which can be confusing, because when the tail is up, the underside isn't black at all. He was moving at a fair clip, so kind of happy to frame it so well, and in portrait too :-)
As the season progresses, the potential problems of taking a doe with a fawn at her side become fewer. Not only will that fawn be able to survive just fine without its mother, but it also will probably have learned all the survival instincts it can by then. Murphy, however, said if you have a choice, shoot a doe with a buck fawn instead of a young female at its side.
The DeerCast app predicted great weather for Nov. 23, and John was ready to try one more time. He slipped into a climbing stand early that morning in a small draw between two bedding areas. That drainage led up to the food plot where the deer had been visiting. His plan was to catch the buck cruising through and scent checking the area. A few does, and some younger bucks that were very interested in them, came through early that morning; but the target buck never showed. 2b1af7f3a8
