What do you call a "Mature", buck? Do you go by antler score or age? Do most of you think of a 3 yr old mature,,,4yrs? Actually 5 to 6 yrs is considered mature, but how many of those are around? How many seasons does it take to see one of those? I suppose if you have lots of prime acreage, your odds are higher. I know in my area, 4 yrs old, is pretty mature. Lucky to live that long. hunting pressure pretty high. Back in N. MI. where I come from, 2 1/2 yrs considered mature. I know,,,SAD, but true.
