Mississippi wildlife officials offer tips on selecting management bucks

Deciding which bucks to manage for harvest isn’t as simple as counting points or judging antler size, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.

Age, habitat, deer density, property-specific data, and management goals all influence decisions. Some commonly used rules may not be as effective as previously thought, officials say.

Wildlife officials recommend considering all these factors to make more informed decisions about which bucks to harvest and which to leave alone. More information is available in a full article on the department’s website.
