Yes, but like most other areas, very few. And the majority of those on the restricted sra areas of 2B. Where the plan isnt having effect. Thats also where most of the big buck were coming from BEFORE the plan was put in place. A simple gander at the record book will confirm that very quickly.
BP, I'll wager that buck didnt spend hunting season on that "public land". Not when there are most likely so many better and safer areas in that area.
" know I'm very happy about what I have seen and harvested since Ar's! Do I think some of the areas that I hunt can hold more deer? Absolutely! But, I would trade for two deer like this vs. twenty mediocre bucks running on the same piece of property any day."
So would I bp. Though we lost out in the trade. We gave up the quantity and didnt get the quality as promised. In fact some areas, the quality took a hit thanks to all the hr.
