Is that what you think?? If your answer is no then what do YOU attribute to low numbers of P&Y bucks killed in those states to??
Sorry I john I missed this one.
I have studied this a lot, and here it is.
We shoot them all before they have a chance to get big

70+% here in MI, but I think it's way higher. In state where the numbers of older deer is high it's because of deer management and low hunting numbers.
Here is a great stat, Jeff has shot 2 bigger deer than all my family members but 1 in MI. My GrandFather has never shot a deer over 100'' in Northen MI[&:]
Matt here another anomoly in MI. John hunts state and private land in Mid Michigan. The odds in MI are 1-5000, in Mid MI they are a bit worst. The is a reason WKPTodd moved to Iowa. If you have not read John books they are great.
