Quality Deer Management for
More
Monster Bucks
By
Marty Prokop
When I purchased my
Wisconsin deer hunting land, my deer hunting
experience was much like what you shared. I would see countless does
during deer hunting season and few, if any, bucks.
My
second year deer hunting here, I learned the reason why I was seeing so
few bucks.
The
properties surrounding my own deer hunting land had huge groups of deer
hunters.
I spoke
with a few of the deer hunters from those groups. The deer hunters said
they were deer hunting for any deer with a legal rack. It was in those
conversations where I learned why I was not seeing any big bucks, or even
small bucks, on my deer hunting land. The bucks were being harvested
before they could cross the fence lines.
From No Bucks
to Monster Bucks by Marty Prokop
I
wanted to see the number of and size bucks increase in my deer hunting
area; not only for me, but for all the deer hunters on surrounding
properties also.
I began
sharing my thoughts of how to increase the numbers and sizes of the bucks
in our deer hunting area.
I
developed a friendship with some neighbors and told them my plans of
wanting to start Quality Deer Management here on my deer hunting land. We
talked about how, decades ago when they were kids, there were so many more
large bucks. They wanted to see those big, beautiful, breath-taking bucks
again.
We knew
the gene pool existed in the does who were the offspring of the monster
bucks. We hoped if the pressure was off the bucks, we might be able to
help bring monster bucks back to our deer hunting area.
How Quick
Monster Bucks Came Back by Marty Prokop
Even
though my deer hunting land appeared to have little or no large bucks in
2003, after just one and a half years of Quality Deer Management, I
started seeing more bucks by 2005.
Although the 2006 season
was slow for seeing a decent number of bucks during deer hunting season, I
photographed a good number of individual bucks prior to deer hunting
opener.
After
deer hunting season, in the winter of 2006 through spring thaw of 2007, I
counted fifteen individual bucks one night on my deer hunting land. That’s
ONE NIGHT!
I had
bucks with racks ranging from spikes, forks, six-pointers, eight pointers
and two really nice 10-point bucks.

Share
your plans of wanting to start a Quality Deer Management program with
other deer hunters and with your own deer hunting party. You could see an
increase in numbers and sizes of future deer.
Good
Luck and Great Hunting!
