Question, I hunt in Walker County, we have the 13" rule, which limits us on certain bucks, namely inferior bucks! With this 13" rule and not being able to harvest a small antlered inferior buck, how would one go about removing these under class bucks? Also, our deer here in Walker county are some of the most-spooked deer I have ever hunted. I am on a family lease that we have hunted for 19 years. We only shoot mature bucks, unless we feel the buck is a cull. My second question is, we try everything on the market to lure in the deer, baits, attractants, everything from food additives to urine. None of this stuff even phases our East Texas deer. Matter of fact, I actually watched a doe walk around some food to cross a road? Love your website, extremely informative!

Might I recommend to concentrate on removing the inferior mature bucks first after you've harvested your trophy. They are the smartest and once you start shooting around them they may disappear. The younger ones don't pick up on the "if-they're-getting-shot-I may-be-next" as fast as the older bucks. Very good article and definitely an important topic.
