Taxidermists, processors, hunters all over beg to differ with you.
The evidence is undeniable, except to those in denial.
Bigger, better bucks! Not more mind you, but bigger and better!
Sorry,thatyou can't shoot those spikes any more. Sorry that you apparently cant outwit an adult buck.
Take heart though, eventually even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile.
Sooner or later a deer will come by you.
Or maybe you'll hit the powerball. Miracles do happen from time to time.
You just gave the answer to your own there btbuthunter. You thoink that maybe just maybe there might seem like bigger deer to some because they are not allowed to shoot the first buck they seen that was under HR rules? Could be what ya think there? So it doesn;t mean there are more or bigger bucks than before,it just means over 16 of age is not allowed to shoot an HR buck and have to wait for a larger buck to come by. Take in to consideration of the buck harvest decline from the past years and you will see there are less bucks being harvested. Now if there was more and bigger bucks than before the harvest numbers would be higherwhich is not the case. Would you call that a balanced herd when more bucks than does are being harvested? Maybe PA will have the first ***** dear herd and you can help the PGC manage them with your expertise on the subject.
