Motown:

I wish we'd go to a one buck state......but our numbers are VERY healthy, right now (I think in the 1.3M range). I've said it before.....I'm lucky to have a large herd where I live.....but the heer numbers here work AGAINST me having a chance at a P&Y buck. The deer in the herd I hunt (Notice I didn't say "my" deer....lol) have to travel great distances late in the year for food.....and they are in constant competition for said food.

Having a lot of deer is a blessing and a curse. I'm working on a spot for next year that will allow me to bring in a friend or two to thin the doe pop. down in MY area. I can honestly see a P&Y buck in my hunting area in the next 3-4 years.

Of course......harvesting that deer is a different story.
