there is less bucks being harvested in clinton county because there are less bucks.less doe too.
it was nothing to see 7 bucks a day by our crew back in 70s.
i remember sitting in apple tree in 1965.
back then we did not have treestands, you just climbed up a tree and sat on limb.
no ticks also or coyotes.
1 afternoon i had12 bucks parade under my apple tree , biggest being a 8 point.
the big 13 point i was after would not come into field until dark.
i had 8 point bucks rubbing their horns on apple tree i was in and i was only 8 ft above their heads and they didnot smell me.
so, we had a lot more bucks years ago,a lot more .
this story is TRUTH.
i also hung from limb, dropped on bucks back and tried to grab horns at same time to ride him thru field,well, that stupid idea did not work
