Well, one thing for sure, no matter if it affects an area or not, you sure want it to not.
I go to the dump every 3 weeks to take my garbage off. It stinks, but I still go. But if I was walking the same route every day thru my house and all the sudden I smell something rotten, I am going to take note.
You don't think a big mature buck doesn't? Your choice. Difference is between you and I is I sure wouldn't be stupid enough to take that chance. You might.
