15,000 is an estimate. Be careful with saying they are killing a lot and we should continue. The Public(abused) areas can't take much more of this. I assume 80% because of the log I keep and have kept for the past 15 years or so. I wish I would have done it for the past 30. During the 90's archery with 20 visits to the field each yearI bet that I saw deer about 15-18 out of 20 times. Tomorrow I will try to get the actual #'s compiled. This year was just about the opposite.

3 days with the rifle hunting great areas and I didn't see a tail.
