i live in pike county the leading county in numbers and kills in the state so im not complianing about numbers just that outfitters have made the 130 inch 3 years old a mature deer and when they have alot of the ground in the area leased out alot of the bucks dont get to reach the level they were getting to a few years ago . and we are runing into alot of outfitters goin out of business couse they completly burn out there ground . i used to guide hunts and ive seen it alot in my area . im not worried about numbers not were i live , but the pressure that is being put on the deer
