I never plant anything. Our northern Michigan land abuts a national forest so always plenty of deer and I have no desire to shoot a buck, I prefer a doe for eating. I already have enough mounts in the house, wife don't want any more. By Thursday I'll know if I'm Elk hunting this year. My only requirement is it's a 180 or better buck or I don't shoot it.
Locally, I'm hunting on private land and using my 460 S&W XVR revolver. For Elk under 500 yards, 308 custom built rifle and over 500, 338 Lapua. In reality, I could skip this year entirely. The deep freeze has elk, deer and bear in it right now. If I took a 180+ Bull, I'd have to buy another freezer and I already have 2 full.
I wish all of you the best of luck and hope you fill out your bag as it keeps them off the roads and off people's bumpers. Just be ethical hunters, not slob hunters. Leave the land they way you found it and bury the guts, don't leave them for the yotes.
