We are not hunting on the west coast.
However there are a few patches of them on the coast.

Some of them get hammered by 1080 from what my cousin tells me.

How do you tell what is a good buck that needs a few years. Is it an educated guess or certain traits in the antlers that mark it out as not a cull.

They're like anything else if they have all the right stuff when young you leave them and hope they survive long enough to get some age on them. It is a risk but can be worth it.
The first one pictured is probably as good as he will ever get the other 2 appear younger.
Spend enough time looking at them and you also get good at assessing them on the Hoof.

Fallow will generally be in their prime between 5-7 years of age.
