“Hey Grant, if you have a second want to see if you can confirm or dispel a theory I have. I am out here hunting in northwest Nebraska this week. I have been hunting this same farm for 15 years and have managed it with an if-I-shoot-it-I-mount it policy. Needless to say I’ve let tons of bucks walk. Only my friend hunts the farm other than me. Every year we find the creek bottom littered with rubs on cottonwoods from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. And during this week every year, nearly every buck of any size has busted up racks. I saw a heavy-racked ten pointer this morning that had broken a G2 and his main beam just past the G3 on the opposite side. The anecdotal evidence would suggest there are some monster bucks here somewhere–yet we rarely see them. My largest buck was a 3 year old scoring 157 back in 2012. My theory is that there are indeed whoppers here to make that sign, and that competition is high and intense to bust up racks like that. A nine-day season and 1500 miles severely limits our ability to scout and pattern these larger deer so we’re largely at the mercy of luck while here each year. My question is, do you agree with my conclusion from the evidence available?
