RE: Is it really that much better??

It is my opinion, that for the most part bucks in heavily hunted areas still use funnels, and cruise doe bedding areas, they just do so much more at night compared to those that live in less pressured places. Also, they may not follow QUITE as textbook of a pattern as other non-pressured deer because otherwise they’d be dead. And while pressured areas still may have big bucks, I’d be hard pressed to believe there are as many as in unpressured areas. It’s a combination of a numbers game, along with behavior.
