Breeding

Breeding is the next best thing and one of the prime buck's main weaknesses until it's tagged. While most of the younger ones may be selective, the prime bucks know the same old routine to mate with as many doe as possible. That will be the best and possibly the biggest.

Some lures or even traps will help bring in one of the prime bucks as it urges them to get aggressive and eventually they'll have to investigate. Sometimes it may take a few hours but it wouldn't be too bad to pass up the opportunity if the hunter thinks that it's still too young. A prime buck would think little for its own safety, causing it to charge in and eventually to be tagged by the hunter.

Patience and a little bit of deviltry is needed to bag the prime buck to mount on the wall. Decoys may work, but it can be pretty risky since they can be aggressive creatures if they want to be. But as long as some safety precautions are practiced, there will be a big buck to tag in the future.
