If you were a buck?

[YellCoAR]

Just consider if you were a buck. How long of a life would you expect?
I figure I would not of made it many years. I don't think the free food in states that allow bait would have got me. But chasing ever doe during rut as a young buck would have been the end of me.

I'd probly get smeared by a log truck first day out

My clumsy behind would probably get stuck in barbed wire pretty early on.

 

[Glendon Mullins]

Like most others, them doe in heat would be my demise when before I have a chance to fully mature lol

 

[YellCoAR]

I had not considered vehicles.

 

[SWOHTR]

(free) food.

I figure I would have done pretty good. Didn't chase the lady folk like a stupid teenager normally does. I picked my shots pretty good. Still had fun but didn't cruise the bait pile (bars, parties, etc like most others in college). If I was in that area there is not a night I don't remember and learned early from watching buddies be dumb that there is zero reason to "chase" a woman. The ones that were for fun don't need chasing and one I enjoyed being around more than a night had the same view on it.

There was one doe that could have ended it for my but as I realized pretty quick I dodge a bullet with that one. she definitely was the CW of CWD. Thats the one slip up I had. Only time I almost had to square off with another "buck" but before it went that far realized she wasn't worth officially breeding anyways.

Well living in california I would have probably been killed as a forked horn. Either by a lion or from the cab of an old tacoma on opening day. Maybe if I was lucky I would be living in a suburban neighborhood and die of old age?

I would have rolled my ankle sometime during the first year and became immobile. Hell, I’ve been rolling my ankles for the past 40 years. The amount of scar tissue I have in those bad boys in unmeasurable.

I would never move during daylight hours and likely live a long life. Well, as long as some a$$hole didn't shoot me with his AR equipped with a thermal scope and a silencer while he was out "Hog Hunting".

The thermal "Hog Hunters" are VERY hard on our big bucks here in GA during the last several years.

 

[CorbLand]

I would have walked next to the road, opening morning and got myself whacked on purpose. Sounds cold living like a deer.

 

[Hnthrdr]

Would have been an up and comer with solid genetics but killed by some instagrammer who had to fill his tag for some content and then claim I was some 170 when I was just a spindly 130

 

[Westernduck]

I’d probably take a long walk to this area I’d think would have a lot more deer in it. I’d see no other deer then get shot by a surprised hunter

 

[displacedtexan]

I like hiding from human activity and free food.

So I'd die young, or live to be real old.

Flip a coin.

 

[Yoder]

Not long. I can only see about 2ft without my glasses.

 

[ORJoe]

If i turn into a buck in my neighborhood, I would die with 1.5" of antler on my head

 

[IdahoBeav]

Not long, I live in Idaho, which means everyone would be shooting at me the minute an antler broke the skin.

 

[GSPHUNTER]

I would drop the antlers. Maybe identify as a doe.

 

[DillanF]

Not much of an early riser if I don't have to be.. most guys would be headed back to camp about the time I was ready for some breakfast and off to chase some tail...

 

[49ereric]

I’d have been a dead button buck more than likely.
