#Longhorn spike deer how to
I do however read as much as possible on everything that has to do with the whitetail deer other than how to kill one. By Bruce Ingram AugBig Game Subscribe to Print This past season I had three hunters proudly tell me that they had improved the deer herd on their land by killing spike bucks. In my opinion 99% of the time when a hunter claims he shot a small buck because it was a "managment buck" isnt telling the truth unless his definition of a managment buck is a buck that he is embaressed to show his friends and needs an excuse to explain why he did, not that any hunter should be embarassed about any legal deer that they harvested under fair chase conditions.Īlso I do not watch hunting shows or video's. A whitetail deer with spike antlers won't necessarily be stuck as a spike for life, as some deer hunters believe. I dont judge a shooter by what he scores or how many points it has, I shoot the first 4.5 year old or older buck I get a chance at. 28 to hunt one of his uncle’s spots near Stoneville in Rockingham County, N.C. Bowman, 28, set out with his uncle before dawn on Nov.
#Longhorn spike deer tv
Bluff Country Boys Outdoor TV recently posted this photo of Bowman’s bizarre buck, and we caught up with him to hear about the hunt. The only possible way to change the genetics of a herd is to eliminate every doe in the area. The whitetail turned out to be a mature spike with a pair of two-foot long tines. I dont "Cull" bucks or ever even use the word because culling bucks does nothing to improve the herds genetics, anybody that thinks they can shoot a few bucks over a couple year time period that they think are inferior deer and change thousands of years of DNA is nuts!! It is none of your business whether or not they get excited or not when they see a deer or whether they decide to harvest a animal or pass it up to live another day. Plus, we need the automatic feeders like they have in Texas if we want to cull our inferior bucks.How a person enjoys the sport or what a hunter decides to squeeze the trigger on or pass on (regardless of the reason) or whether or not they decide to use a feeder should be left up to the individiual hunter as long as they obey all the game laws and bag limits etc. Not genetic engineering, farming and window shopping.ĭid the TV shows fib to you and make you think that this whole bucks of Tecomate scenario is real hunting? I'm sure that's not how you grew up in Pennsylvania doing it. And what ever happened to getting excited when you see a deer? Now it's just "I think I'll pass that one" or "I think I should take that one out of the gene pool".
Why not just put up a fence and buy super sperm. Real hunting is getting out in the wild and pursuing wild deer.Īll this "should I cull this deer" is not what the spirit of hunting is.
