    Target Bucks

    What percent do you think the success rate is for shooting the #1 buck on your target list? Have you shot (or put your kid on theirs) your target the last 2-3 years?

    #2
    Batteries ran low in one camera but I have two pictures of my target buck from last week during shooting light (last 30 minutes). We will see what this weekend brings. Couple other mature shooters but they all get a pass until this 10 gets shot by someone.

    Who else is tracking their #1 buck?

      ive had about 80% luck with mine, but it all depends on things. ill hunt for a couple weeknds on which stands ive seen him on the cameras or which stand i think is the best one. i usually get my target most of the time, but thats just me

        Good luck on getting him David. I will also be in the area.

        The past 2 years I have gotten my targeted buck. This year I have 2 in mind. I have not seen them while hunting yet but I really have not hunted much to this point.

            If I need tracking help I may call you! I doubt that I'll see him for a couple weeks.

                  I havent shot my target buck in quite some time... I took #3 off the list about 7 years ago... since then I get a nice deer but not the one I'm after.

                  2 years ago I killed my target buck and he pulled the ole switcheroo on me. I went to pick him up and it was another equally impressive deer.... just not him. He's tricky! This will be my 3rd year hunting the SAME buck!

                  But thats no fence, small acreage.

                    I've never heard of them sending in their body double. Good luck on that smart old guy.

                        This is the fourth year on our current lease and I hunted the same buck the first three years. Unfortunately (for me) he'd leave late September and come back in after the season closed. During deer season I've never had one picture of him. He was fairly old the first year on the lease so I'm afraid he may have died, no pictures this year. I have a new target this year but he hasn't been out during the day (on camera) since August. We'll see what happens.

                          Yup... I couldnt believe it... I was SOOO pumped I went and grabbed his horns and he had a kicker.... Wait What? My buck doesnt have a kicker.... I have never seen this deer on ANY camera. This may have been the first time he wandered through my little funnel point .... Definitely was his LAST

                              shot my target buck in 2010
                              shot my target buck in 2011
                              saw my target buck in 2012 but couldn't get a shot off
                              Don't have a target buck for 2013 - Oldest buck I have seen on camera all year is 3yrs old
