i think theres more bucks than we think, i hunted hard since october and havent gotten one buck, and actually only seen 1 in all that time, i checked my trail camera, wich is over some bait (i dont hunt any where near) and 6 bucks visited itin 2 days than the batterys died from flashing so much.
If we could bait we would do so much better its not even funny, the deer were actually coming out in the middle of the day to eat before the other deer, even when we had those 70+ winter heat waves
