And if we are getting to the point where regeneration allows for some increase in deer numbers we can absorb an increase in buck harvest.
I see a decrease in hunter numbers in the near future,and I think the drop will be dramatic as we age as a group.
When a camp owner dies or just quits hunting so do the other members.I don't see interest in todays hunting increasing any time soon.
And I might be a minority on this but I see no reason in the world to have this mentored youth hunts without limitations, a six year old has no reason to kill a deer except to please his father.These kids will burn out at 14 and we will loose them also.[:@]
