Excaliber,
You sort of keep fudging on things. You clearly tried to say that deer go nocturnal or go hide on unhunted ground after they get shot at at the beginning of gun season. When I called you on it, you then started talking about 4.5 or older bucks to make your case about deer in general. Now you back away from the 4.5 year old buck statement and are back to saying that it is based on your personal experience. Well, plenty of other people have plenty of experience at seeing and taking mid-to-late season bucks without being out at nite with a spotlight. Besides, you started out by commenting about high deer harvests in general, not just huge old bucks. Plenty of does are taken late season. So sorry but that dog don't hunt.
Good to hear that you know of a couple of folks that allow 15 or more hunters to regularly deer hunt on landholdings as small as 85 acres. Now if you can come up with examples of another 20,000 or so folks that cooperate with having a deer hunter density of one hunter per 6 acres on a regular basis on small property holdings, then your point might be valid. Until then, sorry but that dog ain't gonna hunt either.
You might have more luck just pushing the DNR misreporting conspiracy.....
